      I mean, I don’t like that either but it doesn’t affect links to tweets.

        Single tweets are rarely useful without being able to read some context that isn’t visible without logging in.

        It does however affect getting updates from government agencies, and others who insist on only disseminating real-time information to the public via Twitter.

        For instance: https://twitter.com/WakaKotahiWgtn

        This is the account for traffic events (road closures, traffic accidents, etc) in my city. Not signed in, the latest visible post is from February 2023.

        Since I don’t have a twitter account, this is now functionally useless.

          the latest visible post is from February 2023

          If you scroll down far enough, there are posts from March and August, but they were “less popular” tweets. Incredibly annoying move by twitter. Who wants to regularly view tweets sorted by “Top All Time”?

          Go to the city’s website, they should still have that information accessable via government sites. Buried, but it should still exist.

            While true, the point is that Twitter does require sign in to view content, regardless of that information is elsewhere.

              Have you tried contacting your government for this issue? From my experience public services are often open about Mastodon once they realize it’s the same thing as Twitter, but accessible to everyone.

                I have not. I personally don’t live in a region where disaster notices are often necessary and I don’t have offspring that I have to care for that may be affected, so I’m not really the demographic for the service. I do hope more and more start branching out to the likes of Mastodon or maybe better yet, hosting their own instances.

    Enough fucking Musk spam, we already know this. We didn’t need some rich jackass to validate this.

      I for one get all my opinions from Elon Musk. Saves time and energy trying to come up with my own!

          Each comment section hates the posts about elon yet they keep popping up as if it was interesting. I mean its clear to me, but hmm, what if i was a bot. That would be fun for a day.

    He’s an idiot. You don’t have to sign in to windows 11 to set it up, I literally do this daily. Not to mention corporate computers shouldn’t be seeing the personal computer sign in screen to begin with unless it’s in the hands of IT like me who would know what to do with it.

    There used to be a skip button until about a month ago. Now, you just have to input bad creds and move forward.

    Unlike Twitter, which actually locks down most of its site without an account…

    Idiot just doesn’t like getting called out for his idiocy and hypocrisy.

      Oh, there’s no way Elon wants a machine with a company image on it.

      He probably bought a Win11 S-mode laptop, not knowing what that was.
