replace "twitter.com" with "nitter.net", or for video embedding (discord, etc) use vxtwitter.com or fxtwitter.com. Tweetdeck is what a lot of twitter people use for "serious twittering" (lol).
For reddit use old.reddit.com instead of www.reddit.com. Reddit is Fun is a great native app for android and on iOS there's Apollo.
Both sites are laser-focused on driving conversions and engagement which means forcing you into an account and native apps (specifically their shitty native apps), and undoubtedly they'll start breaking the workarounds and third-party clients for realsies at some point.
But I mean, if users don't even have an account and native app install, how can they possibly get you doomscrolling all day? It's 2022, it's all about the engagement metrics, fuck user experience.
