Days after requiring users to log in to view tweets on the web, Twitter has silently removed these restrictions.

Too late, already have a Mastadon account.

I got one and I wasn’t even on Twitter. Also all those people that say Mastodon is hard must have some severe learning disability.

I suspect the real reason is that they are afraid of losing existing followers.

This kind of take is one of many reasons why activitypub protocols are not more widely adopted. You practically need to work in tech to understand half of what’s going on. I don’t think it’s appropriate to say people must have a severe learning disability if they’re struggling with understanding or if they simply don’t want to spend the time to learn when they run into people sharing takes like this.
