This one still works nitter.poast.org I noticed not long ago they started requiring a user-agent string. Top comment affirms that this is not an announcement as to all instances. HN title was changed so as not to mislead. This one still works. That's all I know.
I'm not touching a server owned by kiwifarms.

The point being: archive with yt-dlp while we still can.
Yes, assume every video you watch and like is going to get deleted in a week or month or year, or whatever. We don't know the timeline but it's really not a question of "if", just when.
I just want to run a headless browser that logs into my socials periodically and scrapes the stuff I want from the account I follow and puts it into a less addictive format that provides an upper limit on my possible exposure and engagement. I’m happy to run it locally from my device. Ideally it redirects links to socials I come across too. Where is such a thing?
I had been planning to add Twitter before the API changes...alas.
This is just an instance shutting down, not all of the Nitter instances. Sort of a deceptive title.

That was a reaction to the advertisers pulling out before that.
He also said that the company was massively underreporting how much of its traffic was bots. That sort of thing can spook an advertiser!
If all Nitter instances get shut down, that's another reason for people to stop putting information into the Twitter/X walled-garden. Nitter has had the effect of a pressure release valve, for the people who object most to Twitter/X. Without the Nitter compromise, more people will stop linking to Twitter/X threads, indulging people who still post there, etc.
> Twitter/X walled-garden I think the MIME type should be `X-Walled-Garden/Twitter`

I really meant to say "owner of the Nitter project", but you are nonetheless correct about ownership of Nitter instances. I have edited my post.
It's also factually incorrect to suppose that this person owns the Nitter project, too. There's no CLA so the copyright is held in common by all of the contributors. Free software projects don't have owners, they have maintainers, and the maintainers are a social construction rather than a matter of property law.
X/Twitter is a gross network. It’s like posting links to 4chan.
Just make a Twitter account and install an ad blocked
