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

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

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!

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

Meta could in theory do this

Meta can do this only because it owns all the 3 companies. No private entity would want to exchange user-data with others.

@[email protected] Yes, but this is what should be expected from the fediverse 😄

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