Twitter threads are frustrating no matter the content, after two replies I get a banner that blocks me from reading until I register. Not gonna happen.

  This particular "thread" is simply two tweets. There's no explanation of why the demotion occurred, by whom, for what reason, when rescinded, etc., etc.

    Ok, even that was obfuscated for me.

  Yep, I'm doubly less likely to sign up when you pull that crap.

  Nitter is your friend if you care (while it lasts). Nitter.net or nitter.eu usually work for me.

    Using Nitter is as easy as replacing twitter.com with e.g. nitter.net or .eu: https://nitter.net/jsnover/status/1523010444570419200 https://nitter.net/jsnover/status/1523010444570419200

  Click on the banner to login, the page will change to a login form with an [X] close button; click that to cancel and you'll be returned to the content to scroll a couple more replies until it tries again and you get bored.

  use nitter.net instead.

  Firefox in a private browser window seems to get past the registration popup for me. You have to close and reload the private window periodically because it somehow starts to fingerprint you as a user and starts showing the popup after some time. If there's a way to configure a specific site to never ever store any cookies or send them under any circumstance that might be the next thing to try. Make twitter think you're friggin curl. Unbelievable we have to do this nonsense just to read the site.
