  They require login for all “sensitive” posts, so yes it is a systemic issue. For anyone annoyed by this, just use LibRedirect and enable forwarding of BlueSky to the 3rd party web client skyview.social

  twitter is fucked and requires a login for everything, but reddit seems to work fine without a login.

    Unless you’re on a vpn, in which case the whole site is restricted unless you sign in.

    twitter is fucked and requires a login for everything,

    They will show you a login screen at the home page. However. You can view specific tweets without an account. You can also view some content from a user.

    You’re crippled important ways in that as far as I know, you can’t sort by reverse date order (to see a user’s recent tweets, which is kind of important), and AFAIK you can’t search, but you’re not completely blocked out.

    Here’s Michael Kofman’s tweets:

    And here’s a specific tweet of his:

      Twitter’s even worse than that. Sometimes they require login to view a tweet. Sometimes you can see every post on an account. Sometimes there are certain posts missing in a timeline but you can’t know without logging in.

      Ridiculously annoying.

    Anything that’s marked NSFW requires a login on Reddit.

      You can bypass that by just replacing “www.reddit.com” with “old.reddit.com”, which shows exactly the same content using the old Reddit UI, and has no more restriction than just clicking an “I am over 18” button.

        I can’t fathom how people have been using the redesign in the first place. Old.reddit was the only way.

      pretty sure thats just on mobile, could be wrong tho

        The mobile website doesn’t let you view NSFW without using the Reddit app. You can bypass that by flipping your web browser to request desktop mode and viewing old.reddit.com too.
