This sounds a lot like the whole Twitter issue where they messed with MFA, and ruined my ability to login anywhere other than a single laptop (that had an existing token).
So that fixed my Twitter addition - I just stopped using it.
The same will likely happen here - Reddit is going to find out that I'm happy querying for other users's content (from Google/Duck queries) but without Apollo, I'm probably not going to contribute.
Deleted my Twitter account since Musk took over and don't intend on getting a new one.
Apart from getting login-walled for threads it also happens quite often that the link simply won't load even the original message, I cannot see what's being discussed and the apps I used to rely on to unroll threads stopped working after the API changes.
It's simply unusable for me and whenever I see a link to Twitter I have to ignore it, as much as the discussion could be interesting there is no way I can participate in it.
For me, Twitter has died. Because Twitter has refused to present the login page for me for several weeks. Tried several browsers, including the latest ones.
Twitter's just completely broken for me when logged out (no account, will not get one, unless it is to build a scraper that bypasses the login wall).
In particular, some public safety / emergency response accounts post safety-critical real-time updates. Visiting their pages when not logged in provides data that is years out-of-date.
I'm hoping this causes a rapid exodus and my one use case for twitter goes away.
On a side note, I haven’t been able to login to Twitter for a long time. Every time I try with email, phone or username it prompts me that they can’t find user. When I search my own username without logging in it just shows up perfectly. The login has been broken for a long while now.. I hope they are tooling away and fixing it, but unsure
Does this mean they're no longer going to redirect all Twitter Search links for users that aren't logged in? I hate not being able to follow links to Twitter.
Did they change that thing where they want you to log in in order to be able to see Twitter? That was the reason I used Nitter, but I haven't been getting that login popup lately.
