Twitter was, at least at one point, usable via a Web interface. Mastodon
and the rest of the Fediverse are, I think, primarily accessible that way.

Posts to various blogs and mailing lists I see frequently cite URLs to
Xitter sites -- x.com, twitter.com, t.co.  I've never been able to
access them using my chosen browser (Seamonkey), even when js is
turned on.  No helpful diagnostic from the site, just "something went
wrong, try again".

I finally got a cell phone because neither of us is able any longer to
walk home from just anywhere -- old, y'know?  And opted for a smart
phone because it seemed stupid to pay through the nose for the service
and not have the advanced features available should I ever come to
want one of them.  I hate the touch-screen GUI, inaccessibility of the
system, inability to write scripts that modify network interactions,
opacity of nearly everything etc. etc.

In any case, I'm not reading blogs or mail on the phone, just on a
Linux desktop and all those Xitter references are effectively null.

Ho hum.
