Hopefully, this ends up being good for the fediverse - if you have to log in to view posts, you’re probably much less likely to create an account, and maybe just a little bit likely to at least just creep on mastodon posts…

Realistically, the thing was always living on borrowed time.
I could have believed that Twitter and Reddit might have been okay with alternate third-party clients, but not third-party Web frontends.

That’s a shame, but fortunately I see fewer and fewer twitter links being posted these days anyway

All they achieved was make me not ever engage with their website in any capacity. I’m not making an account, I’m not logging in. If I can’t see the content without logging in, or with a proxy, I’ll just never see it. It’s not sweat off my back if I can’t see some random porn someone linked in a group chat.
