If twitter really wants to "boost engagement" I'd suggest maybe not forcing people to log in or have JS enabled, but maybe that's just me. I haven't viewed anything on the platform itself since they made those changes.
- willio58 3y ago> or have JS enabled For 99% of users, they don't even know what Javascript is, let alone that you can disable it, let alone that they _should_ disable it on any site. Not saying if that's a good thing or not, but I doubt allowing JS to be disabled would have any real effect on their engagement. In fact, I'm sure the frontend team at X would argue all the visual stuff enabled by JS increases engagement.
- lwansbrough 3y ago> or have JS enabled > but maybe that's just me To be fair there are probably a least a couple dozen people who do this.

- grandpoobah 3y agoAh yes, catering to Ludddites will surely boost engagement.
- pengaru 3y agoEven Mastodon is unusable without JS enabled, forget about Twitter caring.
- specialist 3y agoI just want to follow my peeps. And maybe some hashtag "news" feeds. A RSS reader like UI would suffice. Make it fancy if you have to. I wouldn't even mind inline contextual ads. Or subscriptions. Or paid apps. And, hot damn, dedupe the noise. All those @#$%^ retweets. Once is enough. FFS. And I only to see the "pinned" post once. Not every single time I visit. -- PS, FWIW, nitter hasn't musked up the links. https://nitter.net/drvolts https://nitter.net/drvolts
