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.

Github: https://github.com/SimonBrazell/privacy-redirect

Chrome Web Store: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/privacy-redirect/pmcmeagblkinmogikoikkdjiligflglb/related

Firefox Browser Add-ons: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/privacy-redirect/

Looks like twitter waited for the reddit API changes to do push this change to try to do it under the radar.

Maybe users will stop posting link to this site now that a lot of people can’t see it.

I see this as a plus.

    So are all social media companies racing to the bottom?

    Is the suggestion here that Twitter now requires a login to even view a tweet?

    Same here. I only browse, so I don't have an account and I don't plan on making one. This sucks.

    Corporate greed and commercialisation of everything. Welcome to the dystopian hellhole we live in

    Is there a way to control the image size?

    I can't wait for this stubborn jackass to kill off twitter to the point it becomes an unrecoverable decline.
