@stux apparently twitter didn’t think of what would happen if they redirected incorrect and twitter ddosed themselves early this morning I guess its time for the fireworks.
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.
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.

I'm now expecting Elon Jr. (Spez) to do the same on Reddit because Elon is his idol and mentor.
I wish there was an option on #DuckDuckGo to exclude search results that point to Twitter since I can no longer read them. It's now just clutter in the search results.
Works now, though I don't know what nitter.net's method of obtaining Tweet data is, and wouldn't be terribly surprised if Twitter intends to crack down on that, sooner or later.
