- shevy-java 23d agoSame here. There is always the "log in" nagging pop-up. But I will never log in again to the right-arm-gesture guy, so this is just time wasted for me. We could need some decentralized way to share "tweets" though. Not linked to greedy billionaires.
- flawn 23d agoIf you want to share tweets from X, there is exactly that: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49437283 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49437283

- stymaar 22d agoI made the experiment some times ago: it's faster to edit the link, replace x.com with nitter.net and load the content from there, than wait until the original page load. The time difference isn't meaningful (it's less than a second), but the fact that a website loses against a manual redirection to another front end is still a spectacular proof of incompetence.
- TRiG_Ireland 22d agoI found a Firefox plugin which does an automatic redirect to XCancel.
- TFNA 22d agoI wonder if it is by design. On Nitter, which is fast-loading and streamlined, it is trivial to ctrl-click on a bunch of commenter accounts and readily see they are bots (photo from This Person Does Not Exist, unrealistically single-issue posting, etc.). On X where things move slow as treacle, it is harder for the average person to figure that out.
