Well, now you can only view Twitter accounts if you have an account yourself. I guess this will be how the company operates going forward.

I am logged in my banned account when I take screenshots etc. No I did not say nigger, I was banned for literally no reason at all in a 2021 ban wave, and appeals are ignored completely.
Banned accounts allow you to browse the site, with some inconveniences, like not having a "wall" to scroll through and you cannot follow people etc. But you can browse tweets and you can search for users, if you have a banned account, just log it in.

For now, just use nitter. But in all likelihood Muskrat will break that too.

Called it, nitter no longer works. I cannot find a working instance, they all seem to break with some form of technogibberish error.

How can Musk believe this is a good idea? Generally about 90% of a site's users are lurkers. Twitter's primary business is allowing people to publish ("microblog") content, and now it will be hidden.

He's probably trying to spur more user signups. Meta does the same thing with Facebook and Instagram.

if you have a banned account, just log it in.

Does it require SMS verification to login? I have an old banned account, but it was on a burner SIM that I destroyed long ago.

You'll likely need verification through whichever method you signed up with, but mobile 2FA is disabled for anyone without Twitter Blue. I've only ever used email for registration so I'm not sure how mobile verification works.

Seriously what is it about this year and every single major platform just killing themselves. As 2016 was to celebrities 2023 shall be to social media apparently.

Twitter is literally ruined, this is what happens when a gazillionare takes over a business and has no fucking clue how to run it.
they're either gonna revert this tomorrow or twitter will unironically shut the fuck down.
Very big hit into the businesses on twitter that use it for updates to general public.
This is not just twitter frontend, shit like 3rd party apps are so completely fucked already since all the guest API does now is respond with {}.

So nitter is dead and my phone number is banned for calling a congressman a retard. No more Twitter for me, I guess.

UPDATE:

Temporary emergency measure. We were getting data pillaged so much that it was degrading service for normal users!

Temporary restriction: also known as permanent restriction.



Last week, Twitter also banned musician Foundring (who made the YWNBAW song) for making a song that pokes fun at the new CEO of Twitter being a executive of the World Economic Forum. As of today, they have still not given him any update as to why he was banned. It's almost as if absolutely nothing has changed and this was just a business decision

Nothing lasts forever. Ragnarok has to happen sometime.

NOO! STOP TAKING OUR DATA NOOOOOOO!


This is an amazing digital public square, where you aren't allowed to search for anything, and you aren't allowed to see anything. Lmao.

Well shit, this is gonna make cow watching much more difficult.

And archiving lazy artists impossible. Ever find a cool artist only to discover they exclusively upload to Twitter so you have to see all their memes and faggot opinions to see their art.

Usually I just ignore and scroll past non-media posts, and focus on just finding the fapping material artwork.

Really? I just have a burner account. Fuck interacting with people on Twitter. I'm not on there to become a "hot take influencer" I'm there to read news, or when some lolcow decides to dump their life story on there.

 

[AnOminous]

One of the biggest userbases left on twitter is porn users. Twitter profiles act as an easy place to find sauce on a artist, ethot, etc and find their premium stuff. Blocking public viewing of profiles is gonna kill one of the last remaining userbases of this cesspool of a site.

And this is a bad thing why? Death to Twitter. Jihad on Twitter. I hope it dies. I hope every Twitter user dies dangling from a lamppost next to a redditor.

I was banned for calling someone a "foghat" and they wanted me to delete it. That was such faggot bullshit I just never did. That is the gayest shit I've ever seen. They can't just delete it, you have to do some kind of faggy struggle session and admit you were wrong.

Well that guy was a fucking faggot and it was an act of kindness just to call him a "foghat" and I ain't taking SHIT back.

Musk is basically that retard who died at the Titanic site but luckily only in charge of social media. Oh and cars. And space. Maybe he can take out a few retarded billionaires like that other retard.

I'm looking forward to some autopilot vehicles going all Maximum Overdrive and shit after being hacked by a 12 year old.

You gotta take the good with the bad. Twitter has also been an essential source for the Farms in both finding and following cows. If Twitter goes, our own little autistic web forum will be so much the poorer for it.
