That sucks because Nitter is genuinely good software. Made Twitter feel extremely fast and lean, unlike the actual default website. Nitter defies the trend of most software today, particularly software from silicon valley companies.

Yeah Twitter finally shut off the free tier of their API. Shit’s rough.

Honestly I wish it would have stopped working sooner. Hard working developers don’t deserve having their time wasted trying to make shit websites usable. I don’t think nitter not working will have any significant dent on Twitter though.

this sucks but I expect a scraper version will come along to do the same thing while taxing Twitter’s servers twice as hard.

Shame, I’ll probably just stop looking at Twitter altogether

I’m sure the answers are a big “no” for each question but…

1. Is there another alternative frontend?

2. I don’t understand the tech stuff. Has Elon killed off any possibility of a future good alternative front end?

I wonder if that’s why it hasn’t been working for me today. Regardless, that sucks.

That explains all rhe rate limiting all the sudden.

The dev has said that before. But if this is it that sucks. It was a pretty good tool, and I’m sure they put a lot of work into something that the afrikaner just ruined for no reason.

Everybody’s mental health will soon increase.

the problem is nobody outside of like zoomers knows what a mastodon is. including the commies! why do they keep making Twitter accounts ffs.

for anyone looking for a more official confirmation from the actual dev: https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/issues/983#issuecomment-1913362376

It’s possible more workarounds will be found, but as of now it’s not looking good.

These instances are still working for the moment:

• https://nitter.unixfox.eu
• https://nitter.poast.org
• https://nitter.privacydev.net (barely)

Just giving more a reason not to waste time on that dying cesspool of a platform.

bummer but hopefully ill be able to use my time more wisely now
