Q: Is there a specific reason* that this thread links to threadreaderapp?

- devb 2y agoOne great reason is that you need an account on X to read the thread. I deleted my account many months ago, along with many, many other people.
- logifail 2y agoI've just opened https://x.com/dieworkwear https://x.com/dieworkwear in a private browsing window and - from here at least - I don't appear to need an account.
- gdown 2y agoFrom what I can tell you need an x account to read replies, so I can only see the first tiny bit of the thread without an unroller. (For this thread: https://x.com/dieworkwear/status/1909741170953273353 https://x.com/dieworkwear/status/1909741170953273353)

- octernion 2y agoafaik you still need an account to read more than the first post in a thread, and many of us don't have twitter accounts any longer
