"More Tweets" is back

insin opened this issue · comments

We should extend the options which hides "Discover more" tweets to also hide these - why do they have both? 🤔

You only get "More Tweets" if you navigate to a Tweet via an external link, e.g.:

https://x.com/raccoonhourly/status/1791959469942849833

If you navigate to that Tweet from within Twitter instead (e.g. via a Quote Tweet of it), it shows you "Discover more", which we can already hide.

I think this is functionality left over from when Twitter used to show the thread under focused tweets to non-logged-in users

The problem with trying to hide this is the "More Tweets" text comes from the server, so it's not included in Twitter's client-side locale data, which means I'd have to manually source translations for every language Twitter supports by switching languages.
