Nitter is dying
Nitter is dying
The "guest account" loophole on which nitter depended seems to have been shut off, so nitter servers will stop working over the next few weeks. This means that using Twitter without logging in will be pretty much impossible.
the web is dying
even technical communities use discord now. It's SO fucking over.
What's driving me mad at the moment is the plague of bands, artists, organizations using linktr.ee instead of a website (or even if they have a website). That's what your website is for!
Actual web developers going nuts over Arc browser because of the UI
I maintain that the fediverse should be viewed as a Usenet clone with easier self-hosting
and therefore it will be the prerogative of one of the big Silicon Valley players to kill it as dead as humanly possible
well fuck. this isn’t unexpected, but I’ll miss being able to view twitter threads in any kind of non-shitty way
Presumably this ought to quicken to death of Twitter, so it's not necessarily ALL bad news. In the meantime there is always copy paste, it's not perfect receipts, but it's sufficient for most sneering purposes.
EDIT: It is a bit nuts considering the number of Official Agencies world wide that issue press releases on twitter, and not really anywhere else convenient to access by the general public (Although that is also them displaying questionnable practices.)
Good...now maybe companies will answer their damn phone when you have a problem instead of trying to redirect you to make accounts at totally unrelated websites.
Unfortunately I think this is a win for those companies; you already had to create an account to interact, but now you can't even see other people's complaints without one.
The only way to use twitter.
