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.

Yeah, I haven’t opened a twitter post in a few weeks anyway, but this just cements the fact that I’ll never go to twitter again. I legitimately don’t care enough about what people are saying on there to login.
