Maybe not quote, but embed. They should still quote noteworthy things on there, but don’t force us to interact with the site

I hate the amount of lazy journalism that embedded tweets have spawned, I will find articles that say “people are saying” something and the proof is three random tweets with about 6 likes between them.

but that’s what exactly embeds do. forcing you to interact with the site

Maybe I wasn’t clear in my comment. I think it’s fine if they quote what somebody tweeted. I don’t think it’s fine to have Twitter embeds in articles.

Come to think of it, I should write a uBlock origin custom rule

I see. wouldn’t the default disabled social blocking lists block that too?

another way is to have libredirect redirect the embeds to nitter. some instances still work

You can always quote without giving the source. “Politician XY said that …”, instead of “Politician XY tweeted that …”
