How to View Twitter Tweets In Era of X

[Skotty]

Curious if anyone has any solutions for how to view someone's recent Twitter posts. I used to have a Twitter account, but these days when I try to log in it just "oops something went wrong". So I can't log in anymore, I guess. If I try to view someone's Twitter feed, like say Tom Nichols, the feed it shows are all posts that are like 3+ years old, which is completely useless. I think I have to be logged in maybe in order to change the feeds to show in a sane chronological order.

I would guess Elon has banned me for not being pro Elon, since he's all free speech and stuff.

I suppose I could try to create a new account. I would probably have to come up with some fake temporary email somewhere.

What I'm looking for is a way to see a persons recent tweets. I kind of miss that. Right now, it doesn't seem possible.

FWIW: Bluesky, an alternative.

I have not, and never will have a twitter account. I find direct links often work. If they don't I just assume the content isn't worth watching, as I've no intention of getting a twitter account.

Which is why I offered an alternative.

Is it a separate social media platform, though? I'm of the impression he needs some mechanism to view actual tweets without signing up.

Correct, it's a separate social media platform not owned by a {fill-in-the-adjective} billionaire. What he wants is, AFAIK, impossible. Thus.....the alternative.

Nitter used to fulfill that function of reading Twitter without being on Twitter. I don't know if it currently works. Try it if you want. As with Torrent indexing sites, the domain name for the URL will change often and there's many alternates with different factors, so search for today's URLs on your own.
