Goodbye twitter I guess. There’s no longer any way to see twitter things people send you without an account

    At this point I’m impressed by how much effort Twitter devs must’ve have put into making the site shittier and less accessible.

    Thank God. Maybe news articles will stop embedding tweets in articles.

    By percent I bet the amount of people using nitter is miniscule, meaning Twitter spent a lot of time making sure a small amount of people can’t access the tweets.

      They’re not also locked into Facebook? It seems like far too many public services communicate through these non-public platforms (i.e. often more easily viewed or sometimes only viewable with an account).

        To be fair, before all this nonsense, this is what made Twitter unique and important. Twitter was the one way through social media “the average Joe” could be heard on the public stage. No normal person is getting time on the news.

        Because of its short format the message had to be simple and concise, which made it special in the social media space. Someone saying something about a current event and then the “semi-democratization” process of being shared and liked or whatever the mechanism was (never was a user), and that message then making it into the news media, was a good thing. It actually was an opportunity for normal people to have a voice. And not just for Americans but for people in other countries who have even less of a voice.

        Which is why the current events are so ironic, all of that being ruined, in the name of the billionaire morons claim of “free speech platform.” He couldn’t even see the perspective I’m coming from because he has a path to the public stage.

    it still could be made working with using real logins for scraping which can be a bit illegal but if you do it on your personal instance it would be more than enough. I’m not sure, maybe nitter already supports this instead of guest tokens?

      There’s nothing illegal about breaking Twitter terms of service. You might get banned, but that’s it.
