No longer have option to copy link to Tweet

[blaze]

Today, I no longer have an option to copy a link to a tweet. It used to show up with the drop down menu but now, this is what my options are:

Doesn't matter which account I'm trying to link to, so I don't think it's privacy settings.

1. You do still have the option, but it's become a bit more tricky

Click on "embed tweet". It will take you to a new tab. Then the screen automatically scrolls down to the tweet again. But if you scroll up to the top of the new tab you will find the familiar link.

2. Yeah, Twitter has "improved" its user interface

I go to the tweet in my web browser, copy the full URL in the address bar and paste in my post.

It seemed to work.

Edit to Add: I have not looked at this on my Android yet.

6. On the Android the copy link is still an option.

They will improve the app later I guess.

You are welcome.

5. For a non-user that just accesses tweets via web, why not just embed the tweet?

7. Less clicks?

Honestly, I didn't understand that embed does pretty much the same thing. Except the link is a whole lot longer and it opens a new window and requires more clicks... I suppose that long link has value for some..

embed:

8. Here is what happens when I use Twitter's embed code

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">BREAKING: NYPD administrative judge recommends firing officer accused of using chokehold in death of Eric Garner.</p>— The Associated Press (@AP) <a href="

Link to tweet

?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 2, 2019</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>


Kind of messy on DU

9. Interesting. I embed all the time, but I do so unregistered from web access to the twitter account

and i never get something like that--but I've been wondering why it does that for others... Now I know.

10. Yeah

Some nosing around on the Web seems to indicate that which Twitter Web interface you get depends on a cookie. The previous interface had features I used that don't exist on the one that is presented to me now.

I also note that I can no longer browse Twitter without logging in. I'm guessing that is a cookie too.

I feel a Luddite rant coming on.
