Twitter is now completely "walled" (dont wanna rattle cages with a wrong title whoopsie)
On this moment you'll need an account to view anything on the platform..
Every day the bird dies a little more

bot, That’s not what paywalled means.
stux, And that's why the "quotes" 😉
assbutt, deleted_by_author
reflex, For what it's worth, I agree with you @assbutt.
People who think paywall is synonymous with sign-in or account required probably spell "should have" with an "of."
disposabletentacle, Joke's on you, I spell it "shud'v"!
stux, I think your username says it all 🤣

ConfusedLlama, You may have a point, but it's just that your replies have a certain quality to them which make you sound like an ass... butt... 🤔
LeftIt, (edited ) No one's shitting on you for pointing it out mate. See anyone calling the original commenter of this chain a dick for pointing it out? No? Because that's not the issue. People are shitting on you for being a cunt.
assbutt, deleted_by_author
LeftIt, I read your comments hence my reply. Now how about you take your own advice and read mine eh? I wasn't arguing against anything. I was telling you you're a right cunt. Clear enough for you mate? Now move on.
assbutt, deleted_by_author
LeftIt, Don't tempt me.
Gonna throw another tantrum? Have at it. That's all I've seen you do mate. You can keep flinging shit here since you're so full of it. I, however, will be signing off so might as well save your tears for another thread. Peace
alex, (edited ) Who’s really “being a shit” here? I see nobody else being hostile but you. Accusing people of that which you are doing yourself is called “projection”.
Nobody else is pedantically picking apart silly things like wording and terminology and then lashing out at others. Just you. We all knew what he meant. Were you ever told as a kid to “pick your battles”? Do you know what that means? Not everything deserves a response.
What’s the matter, did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning and decide to take it out on the world? Significant other break up with you or cheat on you? Got fired? Did your pet die? Why are you so angry at the world? What did it ever do to you? None of those things (whichever is applicable) is our problem.
Please, let’s leave those kinds of toxic, hostile behaviors on the dead bird site and reddit where they belong. We’re trying to build something new here.
Otherwise, “play stupid games, win stupid prizes” and people are just going to report you for repeated incivility and offensive language.
EDIT: And your reply has been reported too. Since all you know is how to behave like a child, maybe we should all treat you like one.
Cinner, Quotes are often used around a word when it's similar enough to another word to be understood.
Paywalled means you must have an account and pay in order to view an article.
There is no equivalent word that comes to mind for this, but "paywalled" is so close as to be misunderstood only if you're trying to do so -- you must now have an account and login in order to view what's behind the login wall.
wagesj45, theyre called scare quotes
KingPyrox, To be fair, you are technically paying for it. Just with your data instead of money
assbutt, deleted_by_author
kitonthenet, This is the pedantry website, arguably more so than Reddit is at this point
KingPyrox, (edited ) OP could mean whenever they want. Most people understood what OP meant. I was just making a point that data is often an overlooked currency.
Also aren't you being pedant by explaining OP didn't use the correct vernacular?
assbutt, deleted_by_author
KingPyrox, Do I have to explain excessive concern with trivial details?
But nice try though 😉
assbutt, deleted_by_author
KingPyrox, Says the user who started this whole thing because they needed to feel heard.
Language is fluid, interchangeable, context driven, and not everyone feels as passionately as you about misused words (because language is fluid and interchangeable). So if you want to start an argument over trivial issues then expect people to be "insufferable".
Thekingoflorda, Would you mind going back to reddit?

thepixelfox, Dude, no matter how much you simp for Elon, he's not gonna fuck you.
Get over yourself. You pedantic cockwaffle.
supermurs, Username checks out.
Kraiden, What would you call it then? Account walled? Log blocked? Auth doored?
assbutt, deleted_by_author
Kraiden, You can no longer view WSJ without paying. Damn, that was complicated.
aebrer, Perfect comparison

wahming, Not really. When I read that title, my first thought was twitter had implemented some sort of paid tier. It was arguably misleading
Cinner, It seems you're squarely the exception to the rule.
pieselpriemel,
I_Miss_Daniel, Beautiful plumage.
Granite, HELLLLO POLLY! whack whack
LostCause, Good, I don‘t want to see it anyway and the less people use it the better for the world.

Xeelee, Shit filtered through a fine cloth is still shit.
tal, 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.

aroom, @stux good. now we can really pressure public services to move from it.
stux, Kinda funny that sooo many links on soo many websites just redirect now
Hopefully most will now see Twitter is a sinking ship
disposabletentacle, It's frustrating, but I'm betting it won't last. With all the people who only visit twitter via links from other sites (or those embedded tweets in news articles), doing something like this will cause twitter's page traffic to suddenly implode. Which will cause their advertisement impression statistics to implode. Which will make their paying advertisers explode. And then twitter will roll it back.
Unless, of course, Elongated Muskrat is intentionally and purposefully trying to completely remove twitter from existence. In which case, this is a pretty clever move.
tal, trying to completely remove twitter from existence
I expect that Twitter just wants people to install the Twitter app and get Twitter accounts.
I suppose that Reddit could do the same thing as well.
ackzsel, and nothing of value was lost. . .
stux, We can only gain! 😀

@MissingThePt
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.
climatepenguin, @Jerry @stux @MissingThePt You can add -site:twitter.com to exclude Twitter results
Jerry, @climatepenguin @stux @MissingThePt
But this is temporary :( I'm trying the ublacklist extension to see it will work
I_Miss_Daniel, I wish the cached option was easier to find. It used to be right there with the results.
Jaysyn, If you're still on Twitter, you're part of the problem.
exscape, If you browse Twitter without an account you're probably not part of the problem.
A friend ran in to this today when trying to check if a service provider was having technical issues.
TritTriton, French @stux As I said on Mastodon: it probably is another “bug” that plagues Twitter since… “this guy” put his hands on it. It could be fixed soon because of the ruckus it will certainly make.
For now, you can still use Nitter instead.
stux, Well yeah, I hope so! This cannot be a feature no matter how they spin it
jasonnab, @stux Big day for Nitter instances https://github.com/xnaas/nitter-instances
Onii-Chan, Oh no!
Anyway...
Jack, @stux
That’s like having to pay a cover charge to see 80 year old strippers.
stux, I guess some would still do that 🤷
Jack, @stux
Ewww.
stux, yesss!
Th4tGuyII, Oh lovely, another loginwall...
You only have to login, but what if I don't want an account with you just to read what someone's put on there?
gk99, 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?
