Firefox’s Enhanced Tracking Protection (Strict Mode) is known to cause issues on x.com
There were no “issues”; everything was working completely fine. This is a deliberate decision to force people to turn off tracking protection.
I saw a recommendation to use Firefox’s container extension https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/containers, but it’s disabled in private browsing windows, and I always use private browsing windows.
What info do you need from Twitter you can’t get elsewhere unless you’re a journalist? Genuine question this isn’t bait lol
I just accepted I’m not getting the information now; but a whole bunch of small creators will basically only talk about their content and schedule on twitter. Like if something is going to be late, they are going on vacation or they are doing an extra stream or etc.
That’s a good point. I’ve been producing a podcast for about eight years now and we used to use Twitter to get that kind of information out quickly back when we used it. There also used to be a really fun, very positive indie podcast community on Twitter. Back when we had stronger control of the industry in the mid 2010’s. Motion and guesting on each other shows, as well as technical advice. It was kind of cool, a rare moment where you could see the more positive promises of the Internet manifest
I’m not sure, but wanted to add another hot take: if you’re a journalist and you use Twitter as a primary source for your work, you’re not a journalist.
