I am so sick of content that requires you to create an account and be logged in to view.

I am so sick of content that requires you to create an account and be logged in to view. I want the old internet back.

@Ashedryden
"Send me a screenshot please" shouldn't be something you say so often you have a hot key

@Ashedryden A good chunk of well-intentioned folks send me Facebook or Instagram links and are just stupefied when I say I don't have an account. “...You can't see this?”

[ashedryden@xoxo.zone]

@paulmcaleer ditto TikTok and instagram

@Ashedryden RSS still gets me around it for some sites.

[ashedryden@xoxo.zone]

@rasterweb yeah, I just can't subscribe to everything lol

@Ashedryden I have had *mild* success occasionally with the web-based TikTok. Some things are gated but others aren't. The tracking (from shared links) is really insidious though.

@paulmcaleer @Ashedryden I couldn't find a web-based frontend for Facebook, but for Instagram there's imginn (dot) com and tikvib (dot) com for TikTok.

Just...use an ad-blocker like uBlock Origin, but you should've been using one anyway.
