@aral At least for Twitter, this is not true. Yeah, the page exhorts you to create an account - but it *does* show the post. At least on desktop; maybe it's different on mobile.

@aral perfect example of why public agencies should not be using those as their primary press release forum.

@aral @_elena @vicfroh This is why I firmly condemn people relying to these platforms only. You have no way to follow their content, despite using RSS like civil people, but platforms deny the access to public, to force you joining.
This should be illegal, at least because when you publicly post on those platforms and you choose "public post", they say "it's available inside and outside the platform".
And, well, automated scanners can access those contents indexing them, while humans can't!
And no, it's not the same thing of blogs' member-only contents. That's a different matter.@elettrona @aral @_elena @vicfroh and it's even worse when governments do it. Or public announcement services with important info, like natural disasters.

@aral I don't listen to some podcasts I like anymore because they only use this platforms to stay in contact with listeners. So if you can not comment without account why should you listen to it - it must be an extraordinary high quality podcast with very important content where no comment is needed at all.

@aral I’ll go a step further. When you post a link to X, Facebook or Instagram (1) I won’t bother even trying to click the link and (2) I’m one step closer to unfollowing, or muting the account that posted it. Sorry not sorry.

I tried X again a few months ago and got a warning because I was posting about the Genocide in Gaza.
I kind of took it as a badge of honour, cos it's a horrendous place. So much racism!
I was shocked how over it was. -

@aral I understand where you're coming from, but since I regularly follow links and end up reading posts on X, Instagram and FB (though I might have to dismiss a popup), I know you have half a point. Sensitive content might be hidden, but I've never run in to an example. Admittedly I use this old thing called a laptop. YMMV on a smartphone.
