Apologize for not engaging with the post directly but holy fuck can people stop using Twitter as a long form blogging platform. I don't want a full screen pop up telling me to sign in or a persistent bottom bar telling me to open the tweet in the app or a reply section mostly hidden unless I log in. I can't even use reader mode because somehow the paragraph breaks all goes missing and the whole thing merges into one didn’t wall of text. Not to mention your post may or may not end up entirely behind a login gate depending on Twitter's temperament of the day. Please just put it on an old, boring web log. At this point I'll even accept substack.

  I really don't want to support a man who has killed so many people and advocates so aggressively for white supremacy and the elimination of trans people.

Be nice, maybe this person isn't very tech-savvy and doesn't know how to setup their own blog? It's not like they are the highly technical founder of a very successful, privacy-focused messaging app....

Firefox and other browsers have extensions to automatically redirect to other sites that show things with less clutter like xcancel.

I agree, but it is what it is. I work around it with LibRedirect [1]. In my case, I run it in Firefox. I only use for Reddit and Twitter, but it supports many more services. [1] https://libredirect.manerakai.com https://libredirect.manerakai.com
