Is there anyway that x shows up rather than

the link? I hate giving x any clicks. I deleted my account and if we're going to have x'ts could you make it so they just appear?

Thanks so much. I know you guys are working miracles every day.

1. Some ideas on this

1. People without accounts see only the first "tweet" in a thread, so some are kind enough to either take and post a screenshot, or scrape or "threadreader" a thread.

Unfortunately, it really takes a few extra steps to post a photo on DU.
You have to upload/post your image somewhere, and then get the link to the photo and paste it here.

2. One who understands nitter.net can input the tweeter's username and get their content. What to do with it? I haven't tried.

Rant.

Why normal people use it really astounds me. Anyone who posts there is likely to get nazi propaganda advertised next to their content, and that's why many companies have quit the platform.

Like nerfing a skunk "for fun", the consequences are hard to wash off.

Hope this helps (other than the rant, of course)

3. cat videos. Need I say more?

2. And how much longer will every referenced x clip begin with "formerly known as twitter"?

I think everyone knows that by now. Not saying that is added here, but everyone seems to do that.

4. it's annoying to say the least.

5. Agreed.

I still have an account that I haven't used in years. I would like to delete it, but I have too much fomo about not being able to see all the Xitter stuff people post here, a lot of which is really worthwhile.

6. I made a few friends and

followed some interesting people and some interesting people followed me. But it's really not worth it to spend time there.
