Nitter is fine, but I want to login and make comments on Twitter, and the pages feed element is blocked for me. I need an alternative. Thank you.
If there is it would think it be unofficial and sabotaged as soon as twitter finds out about it - they would want you to use their app so they get the metrics
Read only though as are all front ends.
Cool, thank you.
Thanks people. Well, I wouldn’t have to look for frontends if Twitter didn’t fuck up its page elements.
So, if Twitter wants, they can just fuck up the page elements for me and I can’t even have a frontend do the interface for me. Nice.
I feel as free as a tied up bondage girl.

Twitter has no alternative for commenting, and is not federated. You can only read via frontends, just like Reddit or Instagram.
Reddit definitely supports frontends that let you comment. see all the unofficial mobile apps

I use Relay personally, there’s probably better apps but I can’t switch away from it because I’m too used to the UI

I meant the frontend viewers like libredd.it or teddit.net or kddit.kalli.st . What you forgot is that those Reddit 3rd party clients are not proxy frontends, and use in-app browser to show Reddit’s OAuth login page.
as far as I’m aware, they poke at the Reddit API in the same way the official app pokes at the Reddit API (minus all the new crust reddit added like RPAN and chat). what’s wrong with using OAuth for login?
3rd party clients are not same as proxy frontends. The reddit clients use official channel for access and authentication, whereas proxy frontends on client end are making no contact with reddit servers. This is why with former you can login and comment, but not with latter.
While proxy frontends give you 100% anonymity, 3rd party clients are less anonymous obviously.
