Just like no one wants to sign into Twitter to read one tweet.

I mean, I don’t like that either but it doesn’t affect links to tweets.

Single tweets are rarely useful without being able to read some context that isn’t visible without logging in.

It does however affect getting updates from government agencies, and others who insist on only disseminating real-time information to the public via Twitter.

For instance: https://twitter.com/WakaKotahiWgtn

This is the account for traffic events (road closures, traffic accidents, etc) in my city. Not signed in, the latest visible post is from February 2023.

Since I don’t have a twitter account, this is now functionally useless.

If you scroll down far enough, there are posts from March and August, but they were “less popular” tweets. Incredibly annoying move by twitter. Who wants to regularly view tweets sorted by “Top All Time”?

Go to the city’s website, they should still have that information accessable via government sites. Buried, but it should still exist.

Enough fucking Musk spam, we already know this. We didn’t need some rich jackass to validate this.

I for one get all my opinions from Elon Musk. Saves time and energy trying to come up with my own!

He’s literally wrong. You can set up windows 11 devices without a sign in.

While being wrong about this, the idiot forces sign in to use twitter…
