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.
I am not logging back into Twitter. They already lost my trust.
Just another good reason to use Mastodon 😎
I’ve recently discovered Calckey and it is worlds better, in my opinion.
It’s just javascript. You can use ublock zap feature to remove the modal, this is why nitter is still working.
To much work for them to do authorization at the API level, they most likely fired all of their backend engineers already.

Nitter isn’t working anymore though, and trying to view a tweet while logged out forces you to
twitter.com/i/flow/loginnow so you can’t just block the modalHow does that end up affecting google search? Do twitter threads just disappear from results now?
Good to hear! I was thinking nitter isn’t working anymore
Edit :
It doesn’t work, looka like I’ll use mastodon more often
I hadn’t thought of that. Nice tip!
I don’t think so? It seems like you’re directed to a login page. There is no modal and no content under it. I’m only on my phone now so can’t be that sure, but it looks like it.
Yea fuck’em… I had my account banned for no apparent reason recently and I now have no plan to use their garbage platform.
I deleted my Twitter account the day the Elon bought it.
Me too. I’m not gonna be on a platform run by someone who just wants it to exhibit control over dissent + try and build his weird parasocial relationships with teens and children.
If I’m nothing, at least I’m principled. I haven’t deleted my reddit account yet, but I logged out when news of the api changes dropped and have minimized my interaction with the site.
I wrestle with whether my content may be helpful to someone in the future, and I’d hate to remove that knowledge when someone (a person) can use it if needed. I couldn’t care less whether reddit burns to the ground like digg before it.
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.
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.
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?!
I’ve seen some weird behavior on other things like this.
It’s so nice of them them to give me another incentive not to visit.
He has to be purposely running into the ground. That’s the move of a person who has no idea what they’re doing.
That’s so dumb, I never use websites that force me to sign in like that. Especially something as mundane and shallow as twitter. I’m not going to allow you to track me constantly just to look at some shitty meme tweet.
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.
You mean like conversations about how roads are racist because they’re black?
I mean there are lots of them. Right now there are raging debates on vaccines.
It always nice when the trash takes itself out.
