Since Twitter was bought by the world's biggest manbaby I've been using Nitter to avoid giving them any traffic/analytics/etc.

If you have a fundamental disagreement with a platform, continuing to engage with it, even through

No it doesn't.

It's telling advertisers that it's still a place that's worth their money to maintain a presence on.

Advertisers typically want people to actually see their ads. That doesn't happen with Nitter.

The unfortunate reality is that hundreds of millions of people continue to use Twitter. So long as the fucking President is on there, among others, so must we be. Important conversations happen there that drive the direction of our country and the world. So while I wish I could close my eyes and pretend they aren't, that's just not reality.
