IMO, if you hate Elon so much, you shouldn't be visiting his website.
You look very odd and silly if you still want to engage with it and just use a different UI layer (i.e., "XCancel", "Nitter".)
If they want you to have an account to read the post and you want to read the post, create an account, log in, and move on. If you don't want to do that, nobody is forcing you to view a public website. There's alternatives like "Bluesky" out there that might be good for you.
- JeremyNT 14d agoMy municipality, and many other governmental entities, post official updates to x.com
- 8note 13d agohave you asked them to switch or to post to many places at once?
- protoster 14d agoI don't want to use "X", I want to read updates from orgs and people who, unfortunately, don't post them elsewhere.
- somehnguy 14d agoI don't visit his website. That's the whole point.
- arijun 14d agoI don't want to be tracked by x.com, but still want to be able to read links people send me to tweets. It's pretty reductive to say that people are using it because they "hate Elon so much," or even that they "want to engage with it.'
- sortoflog 14d ago> You look very odd and silly if you still want to engage with it and just use a different UI layer (i.e., "XCancel", "Nitter".) Why? The site still hosts plenty of content worth seeing. Is it really so silly to do it via a better UI, or to not want an account?
- Banditoz 13d agoIs engaging with the site just reading its content, not liking or retweeting? Sometimes I just want to read a tweet thread that was sent to me without ditractions in a straightforward UI.

Your presentation is less user-hostile in the sense of reduced TOS, easier sign up, cleaner visual presentation, etc Then you should be able to repro it and cannot be sued for copyright infringement.
