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.

[-] dawnerd@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

nitter is breaking too unfortunately

[-] RileyIsBad@beehaw.org 17 points 1 year ago

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.

Just another good reason to use Mastodon 😎

[-] HughJanus@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I've recently discovered Calckey and it is worlds better, in my opinion.

[-] L1C4U5E@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Yea fuck'em... I had my account banned for no apparent reason recently and I now have no plan to use their garbage platform.

[-] MDKAOD@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

I deleted my Twitter account the day the Elon bought it.

[-] ram@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] psysok@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago

I am not logging back into Twitter. They already lost my trust.

[-] danieljackson@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

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.

How does that end up affecting google search? Do twitter threads just disappear from results now?

[-] ShiningWing@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Nitter isn't working anymore though, and trying to view a tweet while logged out forces you to twitter.com/i/flow/login now so you can't just block the modal

Good to hear! I was thinking nitter isn't working anymore

Edit :

It doesn't work, looka like I'll use mastodon more often

[-] peedub@lemmy.nz 1 points 1 year ago

I hadn’t thought of that. Nice tip!

[-] Green_Highlighter@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] cypherpunks@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

at this moment:

  1. twitter.com requires a login to view anything
  2. nitter.net is still able to load tweets and timelines

I wonder if one of those is by accident?!

[-] fishcharlie@eventfrontier.com 1 points 1 year ago

I’ve seen some weird behavior on other things like this.

[-] theinstantwin@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

He has to be purposely running into the ground. That's the move of a person who has no idea what they're doing.

[-] DevCat@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

It's so nice of them them to give me another incentive not to visit.

[-] HughJanus@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

This also seems to have broken Nitter and Mastodon bots.

[-] shortwavesurfer@monero.town 3 points 1 year ago

Glad i ocnly care about mastodon and lemmy. Each news story about all this makes me more and more glad with every headline

[-] HughJanus@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Like it or not, there are still very impactful conversations taking place on Twitter. It's good to be aware of them.

[-] Lost_Wanderer@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Seems to have killed my nitter list too

[-] AlexWIWA@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Site is dead to me then. I'm not logging in on my phone

[-] ayon@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] imrichyouknow@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Nitter all the way

[-] darkmatterstyx@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

It always nice when the trash takes itself out.

[-] Aviandelight@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

But where will Reddit get it's content now?

[-] EdherJr@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Lol that's true, half of the posts i saw on there were just screenshots of some tweets
