I received an Amber Alert a few days ago, which linked to a Twitter post containing the details, and the "x" in the "plz login" modal that blocked the entire screen was non-functional. I just sat there pounding on the x, and then a little hand gif popped up and pointed at the login button.
- Melatonic 1mo agoIt always confuses me because the X you need to click is in the upper right and very small. Not the giant X in the middle. Horrible UI choices.....
- ryantgtg 1mo agoI was definitely clicking the correct x. And I resolved it by refreshing the page and trying again.
- nomel 1mo agoDo you have a screenshot of what you see when you click the above link? I've never had a twitter link go directly to a login screen. A twitter link within a twitter link does, though, unless you copy paste it into the address bar. I don't understand why I'm being downvoted. Am I seeing something different than everyone else? I just tried with private browser, multiple browsers, multiple devices, and they're all the same: I click any twitter post link I can find, and I see the post, no login screen. I'm not using adblock or and javascript is turned on.
- account42 1mo agoTrying to open an image in a tweet also gets the login screen and since a lot of people hide the important information in images because that's what the algorithm prefers, simply visiting the tweet URL directly is no longer a viable solution. You also sometimes get the login requirement for the initial tweet itself.
- unfocso 1mo agoIt depends on the tweet. I can browse many profiles of public figures just fine and open their tweets, but tweets from random people (especially if they include media) will bounce me back with a login wall. Remotely NSFW stuff is instant block.
- rideontime 1mo agoIt is not difficult to understand why you are being downvoted. You are insisting that your own personal observations are the absolute truth, and rejecting everyone else's.
- ryantgtg 1mo agoI'm referring to a modal overlaying the post. It says "see this post in the app". Not a login prompt, as I previously reported (but who cares, modal is modal).
