    Which sucks honestly. I don't have an account on Twitter and don't want to have one, but people ofter refer to Twitter threads, and it would be great to see them. Not to say about indexing

    You can use Nitter to view content - list of servers here: https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/wiki/Instances https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/wiki/Instances

      True, but Nitter is a bit hit and miss, and wasn't working for a while. No guarantee that it'll always remain available.
