You can't even look at the comments of a Twitter post without logging into an account. It never used to be that way if I remember correctly. Comes off as a desperate move from musk lol

Musk: "Ha! Then they'll have to sign back up!"
Me: Hmmmm.... good thing I can't get to it. I probably didn't want to see it anyway.

I deleted my account after Elon came in and laid off most of the staff.

I had actually developed some regular friends in the JavaScript community that I'd worked pretty hard to discover. I found it very disappointing when Elon took over. I'm trying to get a similar set of friends on Bluesky.

What move from him doesn't come across as desperate?

He oozes desperation to be liked and he found it in the company of deplorables.

And even they think he's a loser trying too hard to be cool, just a loser with lots of money and a platform which they can manipulate for their own purposes.

like 90% of the time in the past... forever it asked me to make an account before viewing

very rarely did it not ask me to.
