It is like twitter doesn't even want you to read and follow along people's tweets anymore, barring access, moving things out of order...

Twitter went from free rss feeds available for every microblog(twitter account) to paywalling access if you'd like to see whats new at a glance on several microblogs at once.

Fediverse's mastadon and tootdeck have no problem with allowing to browse and follow along multiple people's accounts and many fediverse instances have rss feeds as well, they have been doing it right for years.

The new tweetdeck is an inferior experience with even more frontend bloat, the old tweetdeck even worked on old and lightweight browers.

I pretty much haven't visited twitter once since the rate limits, and unless access to tweets change drastically, probably will never come back. While I'm using rssbridges as a stopgap, I'll be migrating to other ways to follow people's work where ever possible. It was nice seeing progress and updates on twitter, and I am hoping more people will move to other methods to post statuses.




I used to use Tweetbot as the official client is and continues to be a dumpster fire.

I then switched to Ivory and it is very much like having twitter of old back - a single chronological feed of people I follow without the involvement of any algorithms. I know that the federated bits are there, but they have very little obvious impact on my experience.
