- jasonjayr 2y agoBy default, the posts are all out of order. Top 5 posts are from 2022, 2023, 2020, Jul 19 (Crowdstrike), Jul 18. (in that specific order) Not really useful for the 'latest' going on. Twitter used to be able to do that, was super useful to get the pulse of a current event.
- Dalewyn 2y agoNot sure what's wrong with your feed, if I go to that account the top post is from 3 hours ago concerning this outage along with two replies at 2 hours and then ~48 minutes ago located right under it.
- forbiddenlake 2y agoYou're logged in, they are not.
- reddotchaser 2y agoYeah I used to use Twitter without an account quite a bit and I guess saw a decent amount of ads to make it worthwhile for them. Don’t understand them messing with non-logged in users. I haven’t used twitter in a couple of years now because of that even though I’d like to. It’s completely useless unless I’ve a direct link to a tweet
- ivewonyoung 2y agoIt's a countermeasure to intensive scraping by bots for AI purposes that was costing them a lot of server costs.
- reddotchaser 2y agoTwitter is unusable if you don’t have an account. Only thing that works is direct link to tweets. I imagine there are plenty of privacy conscious people on this platform who don’t have social media accounts so a link to a Twitter account is pretty much useless for them.

- contracertainty 2y agoHey, privacy is a vald concern. I could just as easily say 'When you say "privacy doesn't matter" most of us hear "moron". Try being a bit more civil next time.
- ivewonyoung 2y agoPrivacy isn't free and comes with its own costs. I give up on a lot of things but I also realize programmers and ops people need to eat too, and servers, bandwidth aren't free.
- zelphirkalt 2y agoLets not ship so much tracking and ads, this way we can reduce the amount of sent data a lot!
- wizzwizz4 2y agoI got banned within 10 minutes when I tried that. (Twitter's TOS says I'm no longer allowed to create accounts.)
- worble 2y agoI didn't downvote, but my only problem is that I can't tell if it's a more respectable source or not since twitter won't let me see anything without creating an account ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- ttepasse 2y agoHow do you evaluate respectability in this case? The icon that meant verified on Twitter now only means that someone paid money to X. (And of course you can't read it if you're not logged in.)
- Trellmor 2y agoIn this case you can find this X account linked on some Microsoft status pages. https://status.cloud.microsoft/ https://status.cloud.microsoft/
- EGreg 2y agoI respect them more. So that’s one data point.. (PS: Poe’s law).
- ivewonyoung 2y agoExactly like how you evaluate respectability on any platform including the web. Not like there are reliable checkmarks everywhere you go.
