Congratulations, Elon Musk has just forced you to either feed his propaganda machine or successfully locked you out of the conversation.
Given its extremely liberal content moderation policy, how is X a propaganda machine?
https://xxcancel.com is up and redirecting to working Nitter instances.
Maybe instead of trying to get rid of services that provide a more convenient access to X to non-logged-in users, they should realize that there is a real market behind these services - users that will likely never sign up to X, but who want to read/watch some content without the incessant nagging and limitations that X subjects non-logged-in users to?

Is that really better than 10 years ago?

Whenever someone sends me a link the web app is completely nonfunctional; clicking links just reload the page, it constantly tries opening the app, etc The last time I signed up for an Instagram account (2016) it got immediately flagged as a bot account. I think I was supposed to appeal it to have it reinstanted, but why bother if this is how badly they…
did you sign up with your actual details? or were you using a throwaway email and/or phone? as for using it without an account, try https://codeberg.org/irelephant/kittygram
