Today I realized that is possible login on twitter with a temp mail through VPN in a complete anonymous way. I think it’s a very good thing. I don’t understand why here a lot of people criticize Elon Musk. I think that now it’s a platform more open to debates, it’s almost free speech. No other popular big tech platform allow anonymous login.

    Privacy-wise the better option would be to make Twitter/𝕏 accessible while logged out.

      By allowing lurking twitter, apps and services like nitter can exist as twitter proxies.

    OK, so you can login anonymously. Great.

    The real question is; why would you want to, given that the dead bird site is a cesspool of extreme rightwing awfulness? What are you hoping to learn or take from being on there?

    Are you being down voted for simply having mentioned EM? Because the ability to create anonymous accounts sounds like good news, there are still a lot of discussions happening on Twitter/X from what I see.

    Also, if it’s only for lurking, it’s possible to use twitter/x without account at all and no tracking, by using an alternative front end such as https://nitter.net/ or any other instance.

      Yeah it’s a very good thing. Years ago I remember that it wasn’t possible and the phone number verification was mandatory at some point.

        Phone numbers, credit cards, photo ID… There are various extra verifications some sites (try to) do. Not having them is not anonymity.

    free speech is when you kick out all the journalists that are slightly more left leaning than you and bring back racists, sexists, fascists, and human traffickers
