I don't think there's ever been anything I've absolutely needed to see there and used nitter for a couple of curiosities.
I'm sure I won't miss it.

nitter is breaking too unfortunately
I mean it's not much of a change, considering a minimal amount of activity would result in you getting bombarded with super pushy sign-in popups.
With this and Reddit pulling the shenanigans they are pulling, it sucks to see a large portion of Google's results suddenly become useless, but it's nothing but a growing pain in the path to a more decentralized internet.
Just another good reason to use Mastodon 😎
I've recently discovered Calckey and it is worlds better, in my opinion.
Yea fuck'em... I had my account banned for no apparent reason recently and I now have no plan to use their garbage platform.
I deleted my Twitter account the day the Elon bought it.
Me too. I'm not gonna be on a platform run by someone who just wants it to exhibit control over dissent + try and build his weird parasocial relationships with teens and children.
I am not logging back into Twitter. They already lost my trust.
It's just javascript. You can use ublock zap feature to remove the modal, this is why nitter is still working.
To much work for them to do authorization at the API level, they most likely fired all of their backend engineers already.
Nitter isn't working anymore though, and trying to view a tweet while logged out forces you to twitter.com/i/flow/login now so you can't just block the modal
I hadn’t thought of that. Nice tip!
at this moment:
- twitter.com requires a login to view anything
- nitter.net is still able to load tweets and timelines
I wonder if one of those is by accident?!
Yep I noticed that today. Oh well, I'm never signing back into Twit. No more tweet reading for me unless somebody posts a screenshot I guess.
He has to be purposely running into the ground. That's the move of a person who has no idea what they're doing.
It's so nice of them them to give me another incentive not to visit.
Seems to have killed my nitter list too
Glad i ocnly care about mastodon and lemmy. Each news story about all this makes me more and more glad with every headline
Like it or not, there are still very impactful conversations taking place on Twitter. It's good to be aware of them.
This also seems to have broken Nitter and Mastodon bots.
Site is dead to me then. I'm not logging in on my phone
Nitter all the way
It always nice when the trash takes itself out.
But where will Reddit get it's content now?
