Well, Donny's long awaited come-back to twitter may be longer delayed then. I can't see this decision standing. The traffic drop is going to be immense. Advertisers, already wary, will not like it yet again. Plus, a long weekend in the US is starting. Lots of leisure time to figure out alternatives.

Hasn’t Trump completely abandoned Twitter, and very much prefers his de-federated Mastodon instance? I’d say you can’t put an indefinite delay on for any longer than, well, indefinite. That aside, you’re absolutely right. It’ll be interesting to see why Elon would hide away his money sink, especially when they made such a big hoopla about removing this very thing from the beginning.

yeah, he's been pretty steadfast in rejecting Twitter. maybe if truth dies or something, but...

Nitter is still working, although searching for users seems to have stopped working you can still use the tweet search tab or manually type a twitter username on the end of the URL. List of nitter instances: https://github.com/xnaas/nitter-instances They unpredictably say "This nitter instance has been rate limited", you can try a few from the above list to find one that is getting less traffic.

Update: nitter has stopped working

I still have a few accounts I glance at from time to time. Hockey, Game Devs, Artists, etc. who haven't migrated away despite everything, so this is kinda obnoxious. I created some Redirector ( https://einaregilsson.com/redirector/ ) rules to redirect Tweet and Twitter Profile URLs to their HTML embed equivalents. Should be able to just import the rules and it seems to work alright with some caveats. * I have no idea…

This worked for a couple of days but it doesn't now

for the desperate: https://syndication.twitter.com/srv/timeline-profile/screen-... from https://einaregilsson.com/redirector/ and https://gist.githubusercontent.com/robotblake/a0f020381c1a91...

No longer works

People are trying to find a method to here: https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/issues/919

For the very desperate, this is still "working" for some reason: https://tweettunnel.com/ggreenwald

At the end of each snippet is a t.co link with a /{tweet id} at the end. You'll have to click on it and copy the status/tweet id from the url after the "%2Fstatus%" part. Paste that number into an embed link: https://platform.twitter.com/embed/Tweet.html?id=16763153424...
