To use twitter links without logging in, use nitter.

1. Take a twitter link and replace the tw with n, and replace com with net.

(i.e, replace twitter.com with nitter.net).

2. OR, use the Redirector extension (chrome or firefox).

Jeff might want to consider making this replacement upstream as it were, for the disaffected us all at once, at the very source šŸ˜‡

Ty for now, I'll show myself out 🤸

LOVE IT. Ah just when the modern day robber barons think they can stop the pleebs from accessing information we just find a way around it.

Thank you very much. I wasn't finding this via searches on various engines.

To create a twitter account, should I give my real name and birth date or can I lie?

It's not like facebook; so you can use an alias 'Datagal' perhaps, and for birth date I like to use 1/1/(real birth year). Easy to remember and stay consistent.

Note they will need your phone #.

"Tweet not found" on your nitter.net link. I read nittier.it would work, but alas, it doesn't work either.

Tried this and got serious Microsoft Defender warnings. Quickly exited because I just don't need tech issues.
