Twitter isn't showing tweets unless you're logged in
It seems Twitter is no longer letting people who aren't signed in see any tweets.
I don't think there's ever been anything I've absolutely needed to see there and used nitter for a couple of curiosities.
I'm sure I won't miss it.

I mean it's not much of a change, considering a minimal amount of activity would result in you getting bombarded with super pushy sign-in popups.
With this and Reddit pulling the shenanigans they are pulling, it sucks to see a large portion of Google's results suddenly become useless, but it's nothing but a growing pain in the path to a more decentralized internet.

It's just javascript. You can use ublock zap feature to remove the modal, this is why nitter is still working.
To much work for them to do authorization at the API level, they most likely fired all of their backend engineers already.

1 0 ReplyHow does that end up affecting google search? Do twitter threads just disappear from results now?
1 0 ReplyNitter isn't working anymore though, and trying to view a tweet while logged out forces you to
twitter.com/i/flow/login
now so you can't just block the modal1 0 ReplyGood to hear! I was thinking nitter isn't working anymore
Edit :
It doesn't work, looka like I'll use mastodon more often

Yep I noticed that today. Oh well, I'm never signing back into Twit. No more tweet reading for me unless somebody posts a screenshot I guess.

5 1 Replyat this moment:
- twitter.com requires a login to view anything
- nitter.net is still able to load tweets and timelines
I wonder if one of those is by accident?!

1 0 ReplyIt always nice when the trash takes itself out.
1 0 ReplyNitter all the way
1 0 ReplyThat’s good news. It probably means that they’re losing users like crazy and have to resort to shady practices like this one in order to force signups.
1 0 ReplyBut where will Reddit get it's content now?
2 3 ReplyLol that's true, half of the posts i saw on there were just screenshots of some tweets
