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:

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

[-] rbn@feddit.ch 25 points 9 months ago

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

@jvrava9@lemmy.dbzer0.com Wow nice info tbh

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!

[-] dabaldeagul@feddit.nl 1 points 9 months ago

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

[-] moepoi@moe.onl 2 points 9 months ago

@aeharding@lemmy.world Yes, but this is what should be expected from the fediverse 😄

[-] FrankTheHealer@lemmy.world 15 points 9 months ago

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

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?

[-] kurcatovium@lemm.ee 34 points 9 months 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!

[-] KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 9 months 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.

[-] Aaron@feddit.ch 6 points 9 months ago

Please explain how Nitter supports any website.

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 4 points 9 months ago

You made me think, why have I shared Nitter links on Lemmy?

The one time I remember of several: someone shared a Trump/Epstein deepfake (as opposed to the verified photos of them together). Reverse image searching only returned Twitter results. Nitter allowed me to reference ostensibly the only public discussion anywhere online without risking Lemmings giving Musk ad revenue.

Addiction is not the sole driver of X-Twitter traffic. Information isn’t exclusively contained in wholly ethical spaces.

[-] moepoi@moe.onl 3 points 9 months ago

@thantik@lemmy.world Yeah, because some of popular pixiv artists still on twitter 🫠
