Days after requiring users to log in to view tweets on the web, Twitter has silently removed these restrictions.

    Looks like this might apply only to individual tweets. If you want to view someone’s main page, you still have to sign in.

      Probably I won’t be sharing tweets anytime soon. Add in the fact that there’s no official announcement, they might reverse this in 15 minutes when Musk’s next tantrum starts. So why bother.

        Now that you pointed it out, I have no clue how people/businesses who rely on twitter can continue to do so with the utter uncertainty the platform runs on daily.

        I know they’ve been leaving in droves, but it has been insane how it has been run these past few months.

          I assume the problem is a lack of alternative they can unify around. If Meta ships something definitive enough, especially for teams that already have a FB presence, there might be a mass migration.

          The worst is that local fire and police departments often use it to relay info to the public, so I can’t even see their messages without a fucking account.
