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

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?
Onii-Chan, Oh no!
Anyway...
xc2215x, It isn't a paywall if you can make a free account to access it.
alex, (edited ) "loginwalled" then. We know what he means.
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.

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!
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.
LostCause, Good, I don‘t want to see it anyway and the less people use it the better for the world.
vtez44, It actually started to work for me without account when Elon bought it. Maybe it's geographical, you're not only person who says that.
screamsinternally, @stux hurts just a little. No more lurking from the shadows
arosano, @stux I got out in time :)
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
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
ackzsel, and nothing of value was lost. . .
stux, We can only gain! 😀
