Get rid of twitter embeds.

No.

Yes. They are morally repugnant. The embeds were created at a time when accounts were not required to see replies, and Elon was not being funded by it. No other embed type requires an account to get context like that.

Also, I paid $100 for it.

Just don’t click. Problem solved!

Shut the fuq up, OLG. You crying little FAGGOT

You never have to see them again now with the new feature.

It's a matter of principal. You are financially supporting Elon Musk by supporting embeds (because an account is required). And when baggers spread disinformation via twitter links, there's no way to view the comments on the twitter post without an account. Those comments often times discredit the original post.

I understand your viewpoint but I don’t see it that way.

Do threads & Bluecry have an embed?

I actually love using Twitter/X to talk shyt about Elon on his own platform.

It's a fact that every user you force to create a Twitter account or miss out on the discussion gives him some money.

This troll is really weak. You’re a doctor and a pilot. You don’t believe this absurd logic.

It's not a troll and you know it.

1) An account is required if you want to check on the bullshyt that maga posts on Twitter
1a) Why?
1b) Inevitably, buried in the replies to that tweet is an easy refutation so you don't have to redo the research. Maga post dozens of these a day so that doesn't scale
2) Elon is moving heaven and earth to force people to create accounts
2a)Why?
2b) Because that's how he makes money, otherwise he'd let people post and read anonymously
3) Spanky inherited an existing system that did not require creating a account just like all other embed types
3a) Why?
3b) Because that's how pre-Elon Twitter operated. Anonymous reading was Allowed
4) Spanky seems to be ok with Elon making money off of this site. He won't fix it now
4a) Why?
4b) Same reason he accepted hundreds of dollars from extreme racists
4c) Why is that?
4d) He's a glutton for money and he doesn't think things through.

Solutions:

1) Ban twitter altogether
or
2) Make twitter at the same class as any other site (just an html link)

Twitter is the largest most popular forum on planet Earth and a main source of news for much of the world.
The embed link made the threads here colorful and interesting.

Perhaps a compromise would be to embed Bluesky links to have equal rights?

That's not the point. Bluesky does not require an account to read it and get context.

Also the leaders of bluesky are not giving nazi salutes or responsible for the deaths of 700k children.

So if you don’t have a Twitter acct you don’t have to worry about seeing any content anyway. Sounds perfect you can’t see it

Having both Bluesky & Twitter embeds is very fair. Maybe add DU embeds too to make sure the liberals are well represented for all to see

I have a new enhancement.

Three options: links, collapsed embed, expanded embed.

What's the default? Links or collapsed?

Also, I am going to add switches for how to handle every kind of tag we support. Sort of a more flexible safe mode. I will also add Reddit to safe mode.
