So today I clicked a twitter link because companies like to use it for official announcements, only to be greeted with a login page. Was annoyed then I remembered nitter exists. It just prompted me to install Privacy Redirect which I should have done ages ago.

Github: https://github.com/SimonBrazell/privacy-redirect

Chrome Web Store: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/privacy-redirect/pmcmeagblkinmogikoikkdjiligflglb/related

Firefox Browser Add-ons: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/privacy-redirect/

Looks like twitter waited for the reddit API changes to do push this change to try to do it under the radar.

    I have conflicted feelings about the death of Twitter. I mean, because it’s owned by that jackass moron Elon, I cheer on Twitter’s death. BUT… Twitter is (sadly) the only (non-adult site) place left on the Internet that allows sex workers to exist. The death of Twitter is going to mean a shit load of vulnerable people’s jobs are going to be fucked
