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.

    And now everyone would need to create an account and log in to see those updates. Kinda defeats the purpose.

    Maybe move to some sort of RSS feed? I’m sure such a resource exists.
