Days after requiring users to log in to view tweets on the web, Twitter has silently removed these restrictions.
Sticking with kbin.👍
Watching Musk continue to fuck Twitter into the ground is like watching a really bad skier go down a black diamond trail on their face.
May have something to do with tweets geting deindexed by Google
But they added something to block web scraping, since nitter is still broken.
I think they still blocking, perhaps by IP? I still see the login page.
Same here.
Aha - it’s potentially a smart solution for them. Specific tweet links - the thing that they were losing the most traffic from, possibly - still work fine without login. You can’t do just general browsing, though. This is what the article mentioned but weren’t 100% clear about it.
I see. So I guess that will maybe stop google from deindexing them. I’m wondering how long it will take Elmo to figure out that this will block indexing new tweets.
Musk saw that people hated it.
Musk saw that Meta is about to launch a fully-funded clone.
Musk promised to do this on day one once the bots were handled.
