Twitter locked behind login page.
(lemm.ee)
So today I clicked a twitter link because companies like to use it for official announcements, only to be greeted with a login page. Was annoyed then I remembered nitter exists. It just prompted me to install Privacy Redirect which I should have done ages ago.

Looks like twitter waited for the reddit API changes to do push this change to try to do it under the radar.
Is the suggestion here that Twitter now requires a login to even view a tweet?
It's not a suggestion. It's what they're doing right now.
My statement is use of speech clarifying what @rooster_[email protected] is communicating, and its been confirmed as "yes".
