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.

    I feel this for all the news consumers that used to use twitter as a sort of aggregator. But also: RSS used to do the job (better?), and one of the reasons it “died” was because of Twitter’s rise.

    I have trouble finding RSS feeds on news sites these days, at least. Maybe that will change with this.
