Twitter now requires login to browse tweets.

Fine with me, hopefully it will reduce the amount of noise in my web searches. As it stands I have never intentionally clicked on a link to Twitter but every now and then something is indexed in a search and I end up there. I tried Twitter once briefly 10+ years ago and found zero redeeming qualities, the echo chambers and tribalism have been a significant detriment to society and I sincerely hope that Musk is successful in its demise, despite that likely not being his intent.

I rarely used in the past to post but I don't mind since Husky MUCK has taken over it.
If it requires a sign in to view stuff I find on the search engines I'll add it to my excluded list of clickbait trolling websites like when searching on Google:

I never figured that out. Having no account, it never crossed my mind to click "login" |O
I found it easier to google "twitter proxy" or something and start using one of the many. Just do this.

Didn't work for me. I just get a page telling me how great Twitter is if I'm a member.
