The GDPR switchover appears to have sent Twitter into a perpetual loop, impossible to load it today.

That's not even the most arseholish thing Coren has published this weekend. He seems to be worried that Liddle is outdoing him.

And I'm suspended from Twitter
Makes me wonder which cunt I've called a cunt without the protection of a blue tick has caused that.
Last three I can remember are
Kate Hoey for associating with racists.
Angela Smith for being a racist.
Ian Hislop for repeating the immunisation causes autism lie.
Still.
No great loss.

Dredging this thread back up again as I have a twitter question.
I'm not a tweeter (?) but I wind up there somewhat frequently these days, mostly because of links on OTF.
How do people navigate it?
Almost every time I follow a link from here, I have to click around a couple of times before I really get what I think people are linking to - links to twitter threads almost invariably send me to the middle of the thread, with a bunch of parts missing, then I have to click on one of the tweets that I can see to get everything, sometimes I have to do this a couple of times to get the whole thread. Sometimes there's a "show this thread" button at the bottom of a tweet, sometimes there isn't and even when there is sometimes it still doesn't show the whole thread. Often people put tweets that link to articles on here, if I want to get to the article sometimes I can click directly on that, sometimes I can't until I've clicked on the tweet again and only then the link becomes operational (this appears to be happening more frequently recently).

Is it happening across devices and browsers?
I use it a good deal, have the app installed on all of my devices, and generally don't have these issues.
Try clicking the url that automatically appears below a tweet on here rather than the embedded version and see if that helps.
The "show this thread" functionality may work better in the app itself, but I don't recall having issues with it on a laptop.

Following links to Twitter from OTF is a movable feast. at least for me. Some links work, others don't. I find this on both my Mac at home (or at least I did until I got booted and can't log back in) and at work (Windows desktop). Once you are in a thread, that's Twitter for you. It gets very hard to follow threads as a reply might get 100 replies itself, sending you down a different rabbit hole. The link within tweets was working strangely on Friday (as you say you had to in effect click twice on the tweet to activate any links) but was back to normal on Saturday.
