I mentioned this elsewhere, and I don't mean to copy-paste, but take a look at some public nitter instances if this is a problem you regularly run into: https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/wiki/Instances

Nitter allows viewing threads like these without logging in or even enabling Javascript. For example, this post's thread can be viewed at both https://twitr.gq/joelburgess/status/1428008043556622336 and https://nitter.42l.fr/joelburgess/status/1428008043556622336.

Nitter has donation links on both Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/nitter) and Liberapay (https://liberapay.com/zedeus). Unfortunately, there isn't a way to donate to public instances that I'm aware of, but the software itself is worth supporting.

I should also mention Privacy Redirect as an add-on to automatically redirect you to nitter, openstreetmaps, invidious and others: https://github.com/SimonBrazell/privacy-redirect

I especially like how it replaces Youtube embeds with invidious embeds.

I'd given up even clicking twitter links anymore because I'd get stuck in a "you have to enable js/you have to login" dead end... this is brilliant - I'd never heard of it before. Thanks for pointing it out!
