It’s been drifting that way for a while (couldn’t go more than a few clicks without logging in) but it looks like they’ve made it official. I’m not interested in writing anything behind a login wall.
I would say you could still use nitter.net but that seems kind of broken at the moment, maybe related.
Also, I used to browse Twitter for years before making an account and probably would never have made one otherwise. Saying things out in public, to the public was kind of the whole point of Twitter.

Hopefully this gets public services off twitter.
There’s no reason my local fire department or mayor should only be accessible by giving a foreign (to me) company my info and money.
That’s a good point!

yeah this will def cause many public and private services to think about alternatives
Twitter was the only way to get updates about wildfires near me 😬
Not just clicks, even scrolling is broken. It shows content at first so you lower your guard and then block you with login page once you scroll down.
I don’t even get that. Just an immediate login prompt without being able to see anything underneath.
