Thanks for typing out their tweet. I wouldn't have been able to have read it otherwise, seeing twitter is down.

I haven't really been able to read anything on twitter for a while now as I run noscript by default and haven't deigned to whitelist twitter.

I remain astounded by how much their product has declined (even pre-Musk acquisition) from their glory days of being so light weight that they were used to organize protests when governments would clamp down on internet access.

I try to avoid the site as much as possible but I have a redirection rule to go to a Nitter instance in case I end up clicking on a link. The Nitter UI is nicer too and works fine without JS.
