~~nitter.net is a good mirror, I have an extension called LibRedirect that sends me there automatically instead of twitter. no need to login just to read a single tweet or something that way 🙂~~
edit: sorry for the misinformation, I'd just woken up at the time and definitely misread - I didn't realize twitter had made the change today from needing an account to click around to needing one to view anything at all. Nitter doesn't seem to work anymore 🙁
How does nitter work? Does it scrap the data, or use an API?
Nitter no longer works because sign in is required now.
hm, do edits not propagate through federated instances? I edited that comment an hour or two after posting when I realized, but I've had several replies today that seem to be based on the original version, all from users on different instances.
Edits, comments, etc can take a bit to shuffle through
No worries though, thank you for the clarification
