I only keep twitter installed so I can check service outages.
Why do I need a twitter account to do that?
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.
It very often does
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.
the latest visible post is from February 2023
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.
While true, the point is that Twitter does require sign in to view content, regardless of that information is elsewhere.
Have you tried contacting your government for this issue? From my experience public services are often open about Mastodon once they realize it’s the same thing as Twitter, but accessible to everyone.
I have not. I personally don’t live in a region where disaster notices are often necessary and I don’t have offspring that I have to care for that may be affected, so I’m not really the demographic for the service. I do hope more and more start branching out to the likes of Mastodon or maybe better yet, hosting their own instances.

I for one get all my opinions from Elon Musk. Saves time and energy trying to come up with my own!
Ugh… I guess it’s time to dust off this classic:
A great point? It’s not even true.
This just in: broken clock is right twice a day.
Not if broken because it’s missing the hands
Oh dear, its 0:00. Time for me to go home…
It’s implied it has hands.
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…
Wow, I wonder about his opinion on stubbing your toe.
Cool yeah, no one wants to have to log in with a Twitter account either.
Who gives a fuckingdickleshit about this asshole
No one. These are just bots shilling.
Everyone is a bot.
Even you …
Each comment section hates the posts about elon yet they keep popping up as if it was interesting. I mean its clear to me, but hmm, what if i was a bot. That would be fun for a day.
I’m not a boy (I’m three bots in a trenchcoat)
No one wants to log in to look at twitter posts either

Not really a contraversial opinion.
How about we go a step further and say that I don’t want to have to sign into ANY online account to access my computer.
If I disconnect my Ethernet cable, I can still log in and get work done. That should be the absolute MINIMUM that is expected of any operating system.
Linux is sometimes a royal pain in the ass, but it’s for precisely that reason that it’s important that it and Foss options like it are supported.
Buy Microsoft you fucking coward
The entire global economy is held together by Excel. No thank you
You mean Xcel?
We still have COBOL and AS400. We’ll be fine!

I’d be happy. But too late to make Windows 10’s name Windows X, so it probably won’t happen.
He can rename it Windows X11 and piss off everyone
Lmao
Wow so bold!
