Which is not reassuring considering their past abuse of phone numbers provided for allegedly only security reasons. [0] [0] https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/10/twitter-uninentionally...
Just use a verification service like https://sms4sats.com
What is the list of services used for?
This needs a lot more explanation built into the site!

I don’t have Chrome installed on any of my devices but I’ve noticed when I’m on reddit.com on my iPhone it prompts me to either use the Reddit app or “continue browsing” using the Chrome app. Does Google pay for this as some sort of an advertisement? Or is Reddit incentivized in some way to plug Chrome over Safari or DDG “browser”? When I click “continue” it lets me just keep using my current browser but I always won…
I get a button for Safari on my iPhone and iPad.
Or, I guess when viewing through the browser window that twitter embeds?
Just now I tried viewing new.reddit in safari and it told me my browser was old (though perhaps this is because I’ve refrained from updating ios)

For reddit, IMO the simplest things you can do to improve the experience is to force the old reddit design (old.reddit.com) when on desktop, and use any app except the official app when on mobile.
The problem with old.reddit.com (as opposed to teddit) is that numerous links on Reddit will redirect you to the New experience. Absent DNS hacks, you'll find yourself consistently frustrated by this. With Teddit, AFAIU the rewrites will keep you on Teddit rather than bouncing from old (or i) to www.reddit.com. Mind, Reddit shoud GDIAF. The growth hacking crap has also broken my own usage habit. I'll check in periodi…

The modern internet: four websites each filled with nothing but screenshots from the other three.
Ah yes, the classic. This was the earliest mention I could find: https://twitter.com/tveastman/status/1069674780826071040?lan... . "I'm old enough to remember when the Internet wasn't a group of five websites, each consisting of screenshots of text from the other four."
When Reddit started doing this it effectively broke my redditing habit. I know these things are annoying but for anyone who is trying to use social media less... Twitter, Reddit, and Instagram are almost unusable without their apps. They are basically useless if you dont sign in on the browser on your phone. It's great if you want to get off them.
Reddit is unusable without which app, the official one? Because I've been on reddit for a decade and never once used their app. It's either reddit is fun on android or the browser. Never had a problem. Even if you don't have an account, old.reddit.com and i.reddit.com (for mobile) bypass all the atrocious new UI changes

Twitter threads are a confusing mess to look at and usually I can't figure out OP was trying to convey by posting a link to 30 tweets that probably should have been a text post somewhere.
I just gave up railing against it and run it through threader.app or threadreaderapp.com.
How does Nitter[0] work then? Does it use a Twitter account to grab tweets that reside in Twitter's walled garden. If the tweets are no longer public, how does such a thing work? [0] https://nitter.net/
Public Nitter instances have a distressing tendency to become rate limited or go offline entirely. I'm on my 3rd or 4th instance now. That works most of the time though it's starting to throw limit notices periodically.
The interface itself is excellent IMO.

You do understand the question, you've just decided to respond in a silly way.
The above commenter is correct, the original question is silly, however much flak they may get as people here love IRC. Do you genuinely believe (1) IRC is anywhere near as usable as Twitter for the general population, or that (2) a real-time chat is an equivalent offering to Twitter?
My life is perfectly fine without tweets, likes and stickers. One less thing to waste time on.
