I used Twitter for over 10 years without an account then suddenly in 2022 that was completely disrupted and no longer an option. Reddit is now this way too. But I find it ridiculous that Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. get used by government agencies and local businesses to post announcements and these sites are increasingly if not completely unusable without being logged in (and in some cases requiring an app inst…

Similarly, society decided at some point that linkedin, a completely private and constantly hacked social network, is a must-have when looking for work (not any work, but for a lot of jobs it applies). Just give them all your private data and we'll have a look.

it's brave to look at other companies receiving cease and desist notices and treat it as a market opening

I guess my brain has been cooked by internet libertarianism but what's the basis of a C&D for proxying a website? Is the legal basis just copyright of the contents?

Well yeah the copyright violation is pretty clear cut here.

Listen I know this comment is off topic, flag this if you want but I think it’s an important discussion Speaking of twitter, are there any posts here about the ycombinator discourse? Given a high level member of ycombinator blocked the chairman of the FTC after an argument over immigration, I foresee issues in the future.

Politics aside, Twitter/X has become a bad place to share information on and to link to. It's a bad option from a technical point of view.

We can't read a multi-part tweet (or follow-ups from the author) or check the latest updates from an official account without an account, which requires a mobile phone number and sometimes extra verifications. A digital "town square" can't require an account and a phone number to read what's said there.

Same with Instagram, Facebook, Threads, Linkdin, etc.

paypal should have never ever given back Musk the x domain and ICANN should have nuked it long ago but all that aside, wtf is anyone still on it Musk is a mass murderer apparently the nazis would still be in power today if they just had a web service people were too freaking lazy and addicted to ever quit and Tesla "FSD" is still trying to murder passengers a decade later but that's also definitely a choice

Based on the downvotes, there's a lot of folks who just can't stand to be reminded who and what they're associating with by continuing to use Twitter.

Folks, you don't have to give the nazi bar your business. You will live without Twitter.

I don’t think it’s an issue. Their site, their rules.

I think you’re talking to bots. Anything that doesn’t align with Trump/Elon’s perceived worldview gets downvoted here.
