Tried to look at an Amber Alert today (self.technology)

I have a long commute in and out of a large city. Since I spend so much time on the road, I always try to get the details of Amber Alert notifications to be on the lookout for vehicles used in abductions. I guess I can't do that anymore since Twitter requires an account to see Amber Alerts. Hopefully my state finds another platform to post them.

I definitely use nitter if I'm posting a Twitter link. But I'm probably too lazy to use it when I'm just clicking someone else's link.

Holy shit, thank you... You just made something click for me.

If I replace Twitter, YouTube, Reddit, NYT, and all those other annoying links in just two places, I'll never have to see that crap again. I'm always clicking on interesting posts thoughtlessly just to be hit by a loginwall/paywall... It's not that big a deal, but it would make my life like 2% more pleasant

I already am doing something for Lemmy links because they've been driving me nuts, compared to checking 1000 links, adding a few more will be easy
