I hope it doesn't. You can't see comments or expand a post without creating an account.

Last I checked, you need an account to browse Twitter. This requirement is becoming more common I've noticed

Twitter is unusable without an account too, now.

I'm throwing this out there:

Jack Dorsey left Twitter, and it's exploding.

He rebranded Square into Block, just in time for crypto-winter.

He might not be that great of a CEO.

I use proxies for reading Twitter without logging in, but my point is that we shouldn't settle for a replacement that has the same problems.

There's a popup asking me to accept a policy update as soon as I arrive. I don't have an account. A post is hiding behind the modal, but I can't see much of it to determine what this site is about.

Poor onboarding experience. 0/10, can't recommend. I can easily bypass these things, but most people I might point to it can't without guidance, and it would be silly to expect them to.
