Looks like Elmo is going to start charging for what you can get at Mastodon for free.

TweetDeck Preview terms

@emptywheel It's a small thing, but I've also noticed that suddenly within the past week, I am no longer able to scroll public twitter as a visitor without an account (like many, I deleted it). Now after scrolling down a few tweets, the site locks behind a pop-up telling me to create an account if I want to even VIEW twitter. This further restricts access to information e..g reporting and experts. The milking of twitter continues.
@genoforprez @emptywheel tip: if you click "login" and then dismiss the window you get a few more scrolls before it tries again
@semiquaver @emptywheel That's a good tip. Thank you, kind stranger.
