Related: About this forumIs it true that you can't see tweets that are posted here at DU unless you have a Twitter account?
I'm pretty sure I've read comments to that effect, but I don't understand why that would be the case.
I've had a Twitter account for years but never used it much. I just never found it enjoyable. It's too big and impersonal, and writing tiny short posts is just not my style.
Now that You Know Who has taken over, I've seriously thought about deleting my account. But I don't hat means I wouldn't be able to see the tweets people post here, I'm inclined to keep it, at least for now.
That is really the only thing I use Twitter for these days, but it's something I would really miss.

I don't know why that works. Someone told me about that; I forgot who.

(22,712 posts)You should be able to see them embedded in posts whether you have a Twitter account or not (or a DU account for that matter).

(19,269 posts)This is what I would have assumed.
Now I'm wondering why I've seen so many instances of people saying they can't see embedded tweets and asking for text and images from tweets to be posted separately from the embedded version. How odd!

(22,712 posts)If you're running an ad blocker in your browser, it can potentially prevent embedded tweets from displaying -- instead they just appear as a link.

(11,618 posts)I still can read the first tweet even on Twitter. But any other tweets that person made on twitter I can't read. But here on DU I can read them all just fine.
