You have become the very thing you swore to destroy

      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.
