all x/twitter links have been login-walled for me for quite some time now, probably since around the time Elon took over, so I just stopped clicking any links or visiting the site entirely... since I literally can't if I wanted to anyways (I refuse to make an account and nitter stopped working).

Why should I make an account?

I, for one, don't make accounts on services with a hate speech rate as high as current Twitter. I'd consider an account an indirect endorsement.

Strict tracking in firefox blocks the following:

Social media trackers, Cross-site cookies in all windows, Tracking content in all windows, Cryptominers, Known and suspected fingerprinters.

I wouldn't wanna use a site that relies on any of the above to function anyway.

That's the problem with Firefox these days: The management has been so bad that the market share tanked and now market actors can afford to block FF users who are privacy conscious without risking a big outcry. A sign of things to come…

I don't think Twitter's policy is a great indicator, though in general I agree it's a bad situation with this quasi-monopoly of Chrome-y browsers.
