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.
The only reason I use it is that not enough prominent people are on Mastodon and for me it’s only good for being a quick way of seeing what’s going on in media and politics.
I wonder how many of those people are going to switch now that non-logged-in people can’t even see their posts.
