Goodbye twitter I guess. There’s no longer any way to see twitter things people send you without an account

Probably lukewarm take: Social media shouldn’t be a utility because it provides no social value or improvement of quality of life in the same way other genuine public utilities like electricity, water, sewer services, or general access to the internet, might. It’s also putting the government in a position in which it functionally would have to provide a platform for everyone equally, Neo-Nazis, climate deniers, anti-vaccers, and every other person with “insert terrible belief here” included.
Ultimately, saying social media should be a public utility is like saying casinos and strip clubs should be public utilities. Just because it’s fun to use doesn’t mean it’s good for society or come anywhere close to meeting the definition for the level of necessity typically attached to something as a public utility.
I just see that more and more alternative interfaces for propretary social media are dying and that’s just sad.
Not really, we have great alternatives that are becoming more and more popular. Sent with Eternity from lemmy
I have never been much of a Twitter fan but I have idea why people don’t just move away from it. What more incentives do people need? 🤷♂️
Well normies are still on it, and they keep sending me Twitter links, so need a way to view them
The dumbest people are the ones that never, ever want to change habit.
I used to use nitter to view stuff people sent from twitter. Now I guess I won’t ever look at twitter ever again.
The squawker seems interesting to me. Unfortunately it’s only available on android and there are some issues probably out of their reach. But since I use it for something basic (literally seeing images of some profiles I follow), it serves me well
Squawker doesn’t work any longer either
It had this problem, but it started working again after the last update
:(

You can’t see replies, accounts, search hashtags or really anything but a singular directly linked tweet. It’s basically locked off

Sad news. I used it when I need to see something on Twitter. I hope Musk kill twitter just like this apps. On the end of the day, I guess that will be good lol
For this I have only two words: F…k Twitter. Like FB, just visit with VPN, TOR, mask, rubber gloves and disinfectant spray, best from a Cyber Café…
On Android, Squaker still currently works after the latest update. You can view tweets and profiles but not replies. The guy running it is really working overtime for us.
