Yes, use a nitter instance.

Searching for twitter usernames isn't working, use the tweet search tab or type a twitter username on the end of the url.

If it says "This nitter instance has been rate limited" then choose a different one from the above list.

Also it's not entirely obvious that you expand a thread by clicking in the empty space to to right of the username on a post

Yeah.... I don't know what's going on. The half-dozen or so endpoints spread across the u.s. of a highly-regarded vpn provider here on HN that i subscribe to all went down, and have been down for hours.

I am posting from an endpoint in a different country right now.

It is when i tried to look for updates on twitter that i saw the login wall; i didn't realize it just got put into place until seeing this submission.

(Both rhetorically, and actually asking) Do they expect me to start logging in?

Update: nitter has stopped working
