In reply to the discussion: Will you delete your Twitter account? [View all]BumRushDaShow
(167,300 posts)77. I don't have and never have had a twitter account nor have I used any twitter app
but can still read embedded tweets here. You can also go to the tweet source's "web version" (which is what I do with the news and state/municipal twitter sites to read their info).
For example, DU's twitter account "web" version is here - https://twitter.com/demunderground
In some cases, depending on your browser, you may need to turn off some ad blockers and/or play around with the "private browsing" features to view an embedded tweet, but basically, unless you want to go further into a twitter "thread" in some cases, no account is needed.

I have an account that I've never used, so it won't make much difference to me personally.

I hardly use it as it is, but why make such a decision now? Let's see what happens.

It's not just about trump. It's about a un-American pos Musk. Musk is a un-American fascist pos.

I mostly use Twitter without an account logged in because I rarely tweet myself.

You don't need an account to read Twitter. Just search for keywords or names.

I'm not going to use it for a while. I'll wait and see what changes Musk makes.

No. It's my go-to, before-the-headline app for what's going on in Ukraine.

Interesting to see how many are full of it with staying to support fascist pos Musk
