    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.

    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.

      I’ve recently discovered Calckey and it is worlds better, in my opinion.

        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.

    He has to be purposely running into the ground. That’s the move of a person who has no idea what they’re doing.

    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.

    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:

    1. twitter.com requires a login to view anything
    2. nitter.net is still able to load tweets and timelines

    I wonder if one of those is by accident?!

    This also seems to have broken Nitter and Mastodon bots.
