I haven't really been able to read anything on twitter for a while now as I run noscript by default and haven't deigned to whitelist twitter.

I remain astounded by how much their product has declined (even pre-Musk acquisition) from their glory days of being so light weight that they were used to organize protests when governments would clamp down on internet access.

I try to avoid the site as much as possible but I have a redirection rule to go to a Nitter instance in case I end up clicking on a link. The Nitter UI is nicer too and works fine without JS.

Mileage varies. For me, Twitter’s user experience hasn’t changed noticeably.

Is it working for you today?

Yes. I don’t use Tweetdeck, though. I just use the website.

Also, here’s a nice way to just get the tweets from people you follow: use the realtwitter.com redirect, then click “Latest.”

Yes, just checked.
