Twitter posts no longer visible on DU

I recently replaced my Sprint SIM card with the TMobile card and then got a new phone - iPhone 12 Mini. Tweets posted on DU now just appear as a hyperlink that I click on and go to Twitter.

I do have a twitter account and am logged in

On my iPad the same thing is happening. That device is unchanged and runs off the Verizon WiFi at home.

Whaaaaaa?????

Please help.

It fit inside my 6s Otterbox case. The volume buttons don’t line up so I got a $20 case at Walmart.

We were sprint but now T-Mobile. I got $415 for the 6s leaving about $300 over 24 months for the 12 mini. The battery is waaaaay better. No longer charging constantly. Just saying.

I only see the link, now. I used to see the whole post before. Having to click on the link and wait for it to load does not encourage me to look at these posts that are just Twitter messages

I use an IPad.

I click on something to read, but often get a message about content not being available to me. I don't have a Twitter account and really don't want one.

Like I said I switched phones but it’s on my iPad running off WiFi too. Up thread someone posted that this is apparently common on DU now and no one knows why.

I guess Underpants is going to have to "get with the program," so to speak.

I suspect it could be my ad block or something but I can't figure out which it is.

I just got this new laptop and I use Firefox and ghostery for blocking ads. I had this same issue with the old one but it came and went. I was seeing them before I downloaded ghostery and set my parameters. I haven't found which is the culprit yet.

I didn't want to allow Twitter as the trusted site. That makes sense, I'll do that.
