You have become the very thing you swore to destroy

    Could it just be any post that is ‘friends only’ or if the user has blocked anyone?

    Sounds like it’s not systemic like Twitter or Reddit requiring logins for virtually anything.

        twitter is fucked and requires a login for everything,

        They will show you a login screen at the home page. However. You can view specific tweets without an account. You can also view some content from a user.

        You’re crippled important ways in that as far as I know, you can’t sort by reverse date order (to see a user’s recent tweets, which is kind of important), and AFAIK you can’t search, but you’re not completely blocked out.

        Here’s Michael Kofman’s tweets:

        https://x.com/KofmanMichael/

        And here’s a specific tweet of his:

        https://x.com/KofmanMichael/status/1627309427907854336

        Both should be visible without a Twitter account.

        EDIT: Oh, interesting. It looks like he is either mirroring (dunno if he’s still updating the Twitter account) or has moved to Bluesky anyway, though. Hadn’t noticed that before now. Glad I looked. Had kind of stopped viewing his stuff when Twitter clamped down.

          Twitter’s even worse than that. Sometimes they require login to view a tweet. Sometimes you can see every post on an account. Sometimes there are certain posts missing in a timeline but you can’t know without logging in.

          Ridiculously annoying.
