    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.

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

        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
