does twitter have this problem solved?
Having to login to Twitter to read a thread is really annoying.
Could please stop posting Twitter links on HN while the ban is underway? The app does not work for me
Many people can't view twitter links now, you're likely better off with a screenshot to promote discussion here.
Because twitter is broken. This is surely not news, a year in. You may want to submit a nitter link instead.
Twitter won't allow me to read the thread, I have to create an account. A blog post would be better.
Twitter is unusable as of now for me as well... can't load the tweet.
It's a thread; if you're not logged into Twitter then you only see the one tweet without context. (It wasn't like this before. Thanks, Elon.)You can replace "x.com" in URLs like this with "xcancel.com" or "nitter.poast.org" to get around this.
Links to twitter often show an error message instead of the tweet.
Twitter no longer provides context unless you're logged in. You can currently view a single tweet if directly linked, but not the surrounding thread or replies.
