      I was just over on the r/worldnews livethread on the Ukraine war and the embedded tweets were showing up just fine. I’d actually forgotten about this thread and tried clicking on one for further details, and got the “you’re not logged in” notification.

      Ironically, I had a Twitter account years ago that I created purely because something I was doing at the time required one for login purposes. I never used it and I can only assume it was deleted a few months back when Twitter said they were purging “inactive” accounts. I’m certainly not creating a new one now.

      actually start doing their fucking jobs as journalists and write out the content of the tweet in their own words.

      They’ve got ChatGPT for that now.

      They should use Twitter for what it is, not as the main source of information. I’m so sick of it. Use Twitter as an additional channel to promote your stuff, chat with people maybe. But goddammit, don’t use Twitter as the main channel (just like how it was with Facebook years back, spit).

        While I agree that using Twitter for your news isn’t cool, if a corp or a politician or someone tweets something on there, their tweet counts as quote and referencing that is an important part of journalism.
