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 am not logging back into Twitter. They already lost my trust.
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.
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.

I don’t think so? It seems like you’re directed to a login page. There is no modal and no content under it. I’m only on my phone now so can’t be that sure, but it looks like it.
I hadn’t thought of that. Nice tip!
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.
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?!
He has to be purposely running into the ground. That’s the move of a person who has no idea what they’re doing.
Nitter all the way
That’s just sad, I’m glad I’m not interested in that platform too much.
I don’t understand the point in the platform. It is, and always was, the very definition of a solution looking for a problem.
Artists post to it, but they also tend to post to Instagram, so you can just use that. Same for photographers.
Journalist post to it, but it’s always just a link to the actual article.At this point it’s basically just a “did starlink launch successfully” platform. Seriously that’s it, every other piece of information can be found somewhere else, but SpaceX only post to Twitter, for obvious reasons.
This also seems to have broken Nitter and Mastodon bots.
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.
Site is dead to me then. I’m not logging in on my phone
This is quite possibly due to everyone that was using the API before switching to scraping after the ridiculous API fees. They saw the increased traffic and just said “fuck you and everyone else, you’re going to do it our way”.
It’s so nice of them them to give me another incentive not to visit.
