How come every 3 weeks there is a news that nitter is now dead, and then I go to the Nitter Instance Health Monitor, pick a random instance, and am still able to surf tweets?
I dont get it. Is this wishfull thinking or do people not understand that instances other than nitter.net exist?
There needs to be a move to model more like Invidious where there is a database. Youtube’s got a helluva lot more to index and it’s managed. The account tokens thing was a bit unserious.
you have to paste the URL into an archive website lolz unless u want to login. very cumbersome & no retweets. i like having a retweet free RSS tho, no overlaps
also there are mastodon mirrors of twitter accounts and stuff that can be done
anyways, the site SUCKS. this should have been something to hold us over while people come to their senses and leave
There are still some active Nitter instances, but they are expected to shut down in the near future as the remaining tokens expire. Three weeks ago, Zed wrote on GitHub that “Nitter is dead.”

Shhhh let them think it died 🤫
It did
Mostly, but I don’t want Twitter to take further measures!
Like what? What’s still alive will time out within a week or so, there’s no keeping them around.
You’ll hear about it thru the grapevine. I’m not talking about it on reddit sorry
Neither of us are on Reddit right now .
But ok, good to hear something will keep going.

In the meantime if you need rss, try this:
https://news.google.com/rss/search?q=site:twitter.com/benjaminnorton
just swap out the name.

Well, that is sad and incontrovertible argument. I guess I should cherish it as long as I can.
