So today I clicked a twitter link because companies like to use it for official announcements, only to be greeted with a login page. Was annoyed then I remembered nitter exists. It just prompted me to install Privacy Redirect which I should have done ages ago.

Looks like twitter waited for the reddit API changes to do push this change to try to do it under the radar.

If Twitter has RSS for account, I will subscribe to it without creating an account.

Nitter has that option, just add /rss at the end of the URL and it'll work.

Like this:
https://nitter.net/Pokemon/rss

Which is an actual account I follow via RSS.

Unfortunately nitter broke. Even clicking on your link just throws an error.
