Goodbye twitter I guess. There's no longer any way to see twitter things people send you without an account

Now, I have to make a Xhitter account to see some comics. Some one donate me some copium.

I tried to create one recently but there is now a fucking gauntlet of captchas and puzzles you have to solve to create an account.

Same goes for Google now.

it still could be made working with using real logins for scraping which can be a bit illegal but if you do it on your personal instance it would be more than enough. I'm not sure, maybe nitter already supports this instead of guest tokens?

Yes I believe it could, though we'll see if the devs are willing to keep supporting it

I didn't use Twitter for a decade but occasionally still read my feed until fuckface took over, and then deleted it. But the other day I wondered if someone I knew of who was palliative is still alive so I googled his Twitter, and for some reason they had mercy and let me see he is indeed still living, albeit really incapacitated. So thanks for not being shitty for one second Twitter, and now I hope you die off as a platform and are replaced by the fediverse.
