Huh... I didn't realize that somewhere along the way X restricted access to public tweets/posts to logged-in users.

I noticed this when viewing X profiles from a browser where I was NOT logged in. Then I went to https://twitter.com/danyork - all it showed me was my one pinned tweet (amusingly telling people I'm more active on Mastodon 🤣)

In another browser where I was logged in, I could see all my tweets/posts.

I did not realized there was this change in behavior.

@danyork It happened a while ago. It's his way of forcing people to have an account and not just looking "for free", so to speak.

Found this article from last June.

@cstephens2 Interesting! I guess I must just have always had browsers signed in on the few times I visit X/Twitter lately. Thanks for the link to the article.

spv,

@danyork i think it's been this way for a while

@spv Yes… someone else clued me in that it happened back in June 2023. I guess I have just always been signed in and so only noticed it now! 🤦‍♂️
