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.

nitter is breaking too unfortunately
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.
Just another good reason to use Mastodon 😎
I've recently discovered Calckey and it is worlds better, in my opinion.
I am not logging back into Twitter. They already lost my trust.
That sucks, but I'm partially glad. I deleted my Twitter account like a lot of other people did, but I still would click on links to look at Tweets sometimes. I'm glad to lo longer give them the traffic!
Was using nitter successfully to avoid giving twitter any ad hits. Seems that it is broken at the momen too
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.
Seems to have killed my nitter list too
at this moment:
- twitter.com requires a login to view anything
- nitter.net is still able to load tweets and timelines
I wonder if one of those is by accident?!
Site is dead to me then. I'm not logging in on my phone
I wonder if this will affect Google search. It’s not like Twitter is my go to after a search but sometimes I do end up there.
It always nice when the trash takes itself out.
That’s good news. It probably means that they’re losing users like crazy and have to resort to shady practices like this one in order to force signups.
This also seems to have broken Nitter and Mastodon bots.
Glad i ocnly care about mastodon and lemmy. Each news story about all this makes me more and more glad with every headline
Like it or not, there are still very impactful conversations taking place on Twitter. It's good to be aware of them.
