Has Twitter killed Nitter?
Has Twitter killed Nitter?

pour one out.
edit 1: maybe temporary? paste cause i can't even put it on archive.is right now:
@AqueelMiq this is a temporary restriction, we will re-enable logged out twitter access in the near future
Yet another victim of the data rush.
How long until we'll search for information and get nothing besides SEO-optimized AI-geneted sites, instead of genuine human opinions?
I've run into this yesterday, and was puzzled not to be able to find any news about the change back then! It really does suck, and I wonder about the timing coinciding with the shutdown of Reddit APIs; yet another site full of useful content taking its toys and going home. 😑
- Play store blocking aurora store sessions
- Reddit API changes
- Youtube tests disabling videos for people who use ad blockers
- this Twitter thing
Am i forgetting something?
I'm just waiting for Spez to follow his idol and restrict access to Reddit to all non-logged in users. How can I petition him to do so....
I’m cynical and assume Twitter absolutely did it on Reddit day on purpose
The cynical in me tells me this was Musks plan all along and had been coaxing Spez to get him to implode Reddit to take off heat from this move.
Looks like https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/issues/919#issuecomment-1615136091 is the reason. Smells like bullshit. There’s no way this is correct.
Kinda sucks. Been using it to check a few tweets here and there without an account.
Guess I'll be skipping Twitter links entirely now.
This is irritating. I use Nitter once a week to check if someone's still alive. If I see them posting crap I know they're still breathing.
Best to move on. Don't let them live rent free. Anger consumes you and barely touches them.
Didn't Elon say he hated the login-window-on-scroll just after purchasing twitter?
Elon says a lot, occasionally it isn't out of his arse.
