That’s like having to pay a cover charge to see 80 year old strippers.

It makes me really happy to see these ass-CEOs destroying their shitty platforms and making people consider moving to the Fediverse :)
It actually started to work for me without account when Elon bought it. Maybe it's geographical, you're not only person who says that.
I'm trying to use Nitter and it doesn't seem to be working. Is there any other way to view tweets without making an account? I refuse to be on twitter, but like to see what people are talking about.
Stop going to Twitter for anything.
It was by chance! 😃 Was reading this: https://mashable.com/article/twitter-api-elon-musk-developer-issues-apps and it had some embedded Tweets
Ahh shit.
My rss feed doesn't return anything today and I thought it's nitter's issue.
It's a terrible decision, but I think they just couldn't keep the servers up for the average user because of the "optimizations". People look for news on Telegram anyway nowadays.
@stux apparently twitter didn’t think of what would happen if they redirected incorrect and twitter ddosed themselves early this morning I guess its time for the fireworks.
Here, lots of companies (usually semi-public, which don't want to spend money on their internal IT) use their Twitter accounts for official announcements. The bus company notifies of route outages, the local school posts news updates and administrative matters, etc. I wonder how long it will take for them to lobby the government or directly the European Commission to force Twitter to open the read mode to everyone again.
I only used the site to check for announcements from people or companies and now that's gone. I presume quite a few people will now realise that they have less of an audience (and presumably search engine rankings will drop) and consider alternatives.
@stux Well, I don't mind. If I wanted to see something there, I'd use Nitter. At least my friend won't send me links to twitter.
