- completely expected, but still quite sad.
But like hydra, cut off one head, and two shall spawn. It should never be illegal to proxy another site, if the information content from that site was originally user generated. Using copyright as a shield is just a legal mechanism, and i don't believe it is just.
Therefore, it is civic duty for all to commit civil disobedience on this.
- It would be nice if every logged in twitter user's viewed tweets were transmitted to a decentralized aggregation service for all to view freely.
- Why? Let the world yell into the void. Nobody is listening anymore.

While I support civil disobedience, it would be more impactful if people just stopped using twitter.
I suspect this may be an unpopular take, but this late in the game I simply think less of people who continue to use twitter while complaining about how bad it has gotten.
Of course it got bad. And it is continually going to get worse. It is never again going to be that place that only lives on in people's rose-colored nostalgia.
But... they can leave it. The world will keep turning, and in fact will improve.

That’s not how it works, and you don’t understand the Network Effects at work here.
- it's funny. Twitter lost so much of it's power and reach when it went behind a login type paywall. if people can't see what's posted, why post it lol? The super majority of people see tweets logged out. Dead platform.
