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.

    Seems like a big moment in what the internet will be.

    Early on the internet thrived on being open. Lots of amazing builders embodied the idea of open source collaborative environments and the website’s other people built on their infrastructure and tech followed those principles.

    Now we’re in a new era. The business class saw how popular these spaces and communities were and bought them out. Now were in a place were they lock everything up, force scarcity fucking it all up
