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.
Well, there go all my links to tweets on my singularity sub. Hopefully this finally pushes posters to switch to another platform to share news about stuff.
Edit: Same as paywalled articles, I won’t be allowing links to tweets as their main focus from now on. It’s time for this platform to die.
