as the title says, all of these frontends are dead now, which means that its impossible to view any of the datat that exists on these sites if we dont own an account

is that it? should we just quit using these sites or what?

      Yes unfortunately Twitter did that yesterday. Hopefully they will be able to scrape the content somehow anyway (apparently Twitter still allows googlebot to crawl their Tweets, so maybe Nitter will just disguise as a googlebot)

        I don’t think so. Elon posted that that step was only necessary because of heavy scraping for AI purposes. Once they got that sorted out, tweets should be public again and guess Bitter will start working again

          Elon posted

          I mean, sure, but: why should we believe anything he says?

          The reality on the ground seems to be that Elon just tweets whatever thought enters his mind, and in a best case scenario, people then run around and scramble to make his tweets come true.
