Twitter: You need to turn off two-factor authentication because we put that behind a paywall.

Twitter: You need an account to view content now.

These two things combined just mean I'm not going to be looking at Twitter content, period. I refuse to disable 2FA and make my account less secure, so I just logged out. By logging out, I now am unable to view content. Twitter's slowly doing everything they can to kill off the efficacy of corporate messaging on their platform, huh?

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

I guess some would still do that 🤷

Fine by me.

I tried to stop giving Twitter any clicks at all some time ago, but it didn't always work because so many people insist on linking it on other sites, so I'd occasionally end up giving Twitter a click inadvertently.

Now that'll just take me to a login page that I'll back out of.

Ahh shit.

My rss feed doesn't return anything today and I thought it's nitter's issue.

@stux hurts just a little. No more lurking from the shadows

It's almost like Elon wanted to help push twitter users as well as the reddit exodus to lemmy

@stux Well, I don't mind. If I wanted to see something there, I'd use Nitter. At least my friend won't be sending me links to twitter anymore.
