Mara from B2: Twitter changed something. -- (edited)

Posted by Inigo (aka Inigo) Oct 8 '21, 08:54

As a Twitter non-user, I used to be able to click on a Twitter link from ST, and go through threads, follow them to another user, and go down any Twitter rabbit hole I wanted.

Now, I can only go directly to a Twitter post, and anything I click on after that prompts me with a huge "Sign in or Sign up" prompt. If I click off the prompt, it sends me back to the original twitter post.

Wow. Thanks for the info. -- nm - mara Oct 8, 09:00
They did. I ran into the same thing. There is a workaround that works for me in Chrome. - Full Size Candy Baron Oct 8, 08:57 1
- Oooh, thank you. That helps a lot. -- nm - Inigo Oct 8, 09:00
Have you considered just having a dummy account you don't use for purposes of reading? - ty97 Oct 8, 08:55 12
- Yeah, I'm probably just gonna do that. - Inigo Oct 8, 08:58
- and.. - ty97 Oct 8, 08:56 10
  - I've done this ... created some dummy account ; not to confused with an account that I'll use, which is a dummy's account. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 8, 08:58 9
    - ST Poll - Should I actually start using my Twitter account? -- nm - znufrii Oct 8, 08:59 8
      - Sure! I find it very entertaining. I don't follow hundreds so I don't see a lot of the nasty stuff on there. -- nm - zunk xometimes Oct 8, 09:15
      - Of course. Start by following me. :-) -- nm - mara Oct 8, 09:03
      - I rarely tweet. Very rarely. If I do it's probably a re-tweet. But I follow a number of people and find some interesting stuff that way -- nm - ty97 Oct 8, 09:03 4
        
        I just figure anything interesting enough to mention will probably get reposted here. :) -- nm* - znufrii Oct 8, 09:12 1
        
        I should start charging y'all for the service. You're welcome! -- nm - ty97 Oct 8, 09:13
        
        yup, I tweet/retweet maybe once a year. It's basically a read-only app for me -- nm - decline Oct 8, 09:04
        
        This is not a suggestion for/against using a twitter account, just a statement of how I use mine -- nm - ty97 Oct 8, 09:03
      - I always forget I have one. -- nm - Diva Oct 8, 09:01
