stuff and the demise of tweetdeck

obliviousally: (are you fucking kidding me)
they finally paywalled tweetdeck, tho i did find a workaround to it

- right click, 'inspect'
- click on the 'console' tab
- scroll to the bottom and paste the following:
document.cookie = "tweetdeck_version=legacy; domain=.twitter.com; path=/; expires=Fri, 16 Aug 2024 05:55:18 GMT;";

- hit enter, then refresh the page or navigate to 'tweetdeck.com'


either way, even with a loophole, it's frustrating. i've been using tweetdeck for years now and it's a much nicer twitter experience AND i use it to manage multiple accounts and local ohiofurs stuff x_x

bluesky has been a nice alternative, feels more early social media where not everyone has bought into it yet. so a more curated selection of people actually interacting. but still kind of lacking in a lot of features that come packed by default in a lot of social media. or features that you think would've been on the assembly line after seeing what twitter does right and wrong - stuff like a dedicated media feed, a feed for your tweets vs. retweets, maybe even a gallery kind of thing for artists idk. there's good tools for creating these things on bsky, tho, so maybe they'll be implemented into the site by default eventually

EDIT 8/22/2023: looks like the console code isn't working anymore, but this is a loophole:
