You cannot read the full thread unless you have an account and are logged in. That's reason enough to appreciate a mirror link like that.

I have no issue with Twitter's values or ownership. The website is just annoying and laggy, so I appreciate a readonly mirror.

Did I say anything about morals or compromise or anything? Now you're just ranting to the void about a straw man, not furthering conversation in any way. I think you're the only one who needs to get over something here: the fact that people might not want to visit a certain website. The shock and horror! Take your negativity elsewhere.

>Did I say anything about morals or compromise or anything

So many have that it's an obvious deduction, and the bit 'subjecting yourself to "X"' alludes to the same.

Do you rather claim that X's UX is uniquely horrible than an alternative link was needed for those that can't bear it? If so, well...

Anyways, I just said we can handle the original link just fine. You asked for further clarification.
