RIP Nitter ​:ablobcatraindepressed:​

Now the token generation method for guest account is not working anymore.

You can still use your twitter account token for nitter but it will get banned immediately ​:ded:​

You can't be an anime fan without FMA:Brotherhood in your top anime.

Use https://twiiit.com for random nitter instances for now. https://status.d420.de has nitter instances statuses

As per the statement all remaining instanced will go down over time, though not sure how long that will take.

I love how this post was made by a Sharkey user and has Mastodon users responding, despite me viewing via Lemmy.

Now witness the power of this fully open-source social media platform!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's not the open-sourceness, but the interconnectivity of the fediverse. Meta could, in theory, do this with WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram.

Meta could in theory do this

Meta can do this only because it owns all the 3 companies. No private entity would want to exchange user-data with others.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

@[email protected] Yes, but this is what should be expected from the fediverse 😄

Oh no, now you can't support a website that is slowly but surely turning into a nazi shitfest...the horror!

Why the hell are you guys so addicted to twitter anyhow?

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 year ago

Well, I don't support the site, in fact I never liked it. And after what Musk did to it, it's complete shitshow. Problem is a lot of people I "followed" (weird mix of journalists, OSINT people, comedians, meme posters, etc.) never bothered to jump the ship or at least divide their presence to another platform. Nitter was a good way to still get what they have to say. Now? Screw you Elon!

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago

Since you don’t seem to be aware, there are still companies are government bodies that do their announcements and such through Twitter still. And while “just don’t use it” is easy enough for me to follow, some people need it to know what’s going on with things that matter.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Please explain how Nitter supports any website.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

@[email protected] Yeah, because some of popular pixiv artists still on twitter 🫠

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Was a great tool. A great example of what libre clients for social media could be. RIP
