It seems Twitter is no longer letting people who aren't signed in see any tweets.

    I don’t think there’s ever been anything I’ve absolutely needed to see there and used nitter for a couple of curiosities.

    I’m sure I won’t miss it.

    I mean it’s not much of a change, considering a minimal amount of activity would result in you getting bombarded with super pushy sign-in popups.

    With this and Reddit pulling the shenanigans they are pulling, it sucks to see a large portion of Google’s results suddenly become useless, but it’s nothing but a growing pain in the path to a more decentralized internet.

      I’ve recently discovered Calckey and it is worlds better, in my opinion.

    I am not logging back into Twitter. They already lost my trust.

    Yep I noticed that today. Oh well, I’m never signing back into Twit. No more tweet reading for me unless somebody posts a screenshot I guess.

    That sucks, but I’m partially glad. I deleted my Twitter account like a lot of other people did, but I still would click on links to look at Tweets sometimes. I’m glad to lo longer give them the traffic!

      Was using nitter successfully to avoid giving twitter any ad hits. Seems that it is broken at the momen too

    at this moment:

    1. twitter.com requires a login to view anything
    2. nitter.net is still able to load tweets and timelines

    I wonder if one of those is by accident?!

    I wonder if this will affect Google search. It’s not like Twitter is my go to after a search but sometimes I do end up there.

    This also seems to have broken Nitter and Mastodon bots.

    That’s good news. It probably means that they’re losing users like crazy and have to resort to shady practices like this one in order to force signups.

      Like it or not, there are still very impactful conversations taking place on Twitter. It’s good to be aware of them.
