Why is it I can see Tweets within posts when they are embedded on here (embedded tweets, rather than pure screenshots), but if I click on them it goes to that "something went wrong" page? Does an embedded tweet somehow use the Twitter account of whoever embedded it?
his scraping excuse was bullshit to cover up a 30 million bill they owe google. guy has the business acumen of a used condom but people still love the fucker.

The fact he made this call is truly the move of a moron. Absolutely nothing about it makes any sense from any angle, especially a business angle of any kind. This will be the nail in the coffin.
It shows the new CEO is not capable of preventing musk's huge ego from continuing to make massive mistakes, it shows musk is beyond hope. It shows this is totally fucked beyond repair.
That piece of shit deserves all the hurt possible. Just not the poor employees, well besides the ones who like musk fuck them all too
Musk fired about half of Twitter’s 7,500 workers in November, then layoffs continued into 2023, reportedly bringing headcount under 2,000.

All the employees that sued and had to go to arbitration are now being ghosted with none of Twitter's lawyers showing up, probably because Twitter doesn't want to pay for the lawyers.
"Realizing the expense required for Twitter to arbitrate the claims, as required by its employment agreements, the company is now refusing to do so, Liss-Riordan said. “Now that it has made its bed, it doesn’t want to lie in it,” she added. Liss-Riordan represents Twitter workers in several suits against the company."

Intially at the time of embed with someone logged in, it seems to create a image based link. That image I think is saved by the local forum software, so it's not using their account permanently, just during the create to get the image.
But if you click the image, it brings you to twitter, where if you aren't logged in, you get nothing.
I also tried putting a twitter link in that worked for me before, and now I get nothing when I preview(I never had an account), so if you aren't logged in, I don't think it can create the image.
Edit: Weird. Everything above may be wrong. In preview I got nothing, and when first submitted I got nothing but after another update the Twit embed appears, and I don't have an account.

The twitter embed of the forum is not based on images. You can select individual text parts for example of a twitter embed just before it throws you over to twitter itself.
I suspect the forum uses a plugin that is tied to the api. The makers of the forum software may be paying for the api access for this plugin. But thats a guess.

If/when Musk loses, he will just refuse to pay. He doesn't pay his rent, he doesn't pay his hosting bill, why expect him to follow through on bonus payments for employees.
Yes, I’ve noticed the accounts I follow most have often either cut their content way down or have left entirely. It also used to be the case that the replies would contain interesting info but now that blue checks get sent to the top the replies are mostly garbage too.
Someone pointed this out and it's such an obvious problem. The reason why these new blue checks didn't have lots of followers before is they didn't say interesting things. It's kind of problematic for engagement to amplify the dumbest and least interesting.
The problem with the alternatives is fragmentation. Some going to Bluesky, Some to Mastadon, and Meta Firing up "Threads", and of course the Twitter maintaining a very large amount of the original user base.
Threads will probable be the easy leader as every Instagram account translates over.

I killed my account months ago. My daughter is finally throwing in the towel and deleting her Twitter account. At Twitter she was suffering through waves and waves of near spam posts by some social influencer wannbe, pay-to-win, blue check. Spam she never requested, nor wanted. And thanks to Musk those posts count her down on some of the 600 rate limit… then effectively shuts off her access to ANY of her follows. She said, Fuck it. This isn’t worth it. Too much shit to get to access her curated list of interests.
I'm giving Mastodon a try for her to see if it's something worth while. Mastodon isn’t perfect, but I can effectively:
Filter my feed from triggers I don’t like/want,
Sub/follow tags and topics I want,
Join a server with admins that share my sensibilities (FU Elon),
Generally get what I want from my social news feed, without an algorithmic bait-n-switch.
Not bad, but I'll probably delete it after she figures out what she wants to do. No Bluesky invites.

Interesting, I’m now able to view tweets without logging in or having an account. I can’t get anywhere if I go to the Twitter home page, but embedded tweets are visible now and I can follow the link and view the tweet in Twitter. However, I can’t see any comments or replies.
edit: However ...Clicking on the tweeter goes to their profile page, but none of their tweets will load (“Something went wrong. Try reloading.”). Going directly to a Twitter profile, without going through an embedded tweet, does not work and requires log in. wtf?! what a mess!

Yeah, I initially thought everything was reversed back to normal, but it is... just half reverted, and a bit of a mess. Still can't view lists without logging in (so no use for me, I'm not logging in, account deleted, and only use I had was checking a couple lists).
Just need major media accounts to move to a new platform & twitter is back to being Truth Social 2.1 (or myspace 2022)
