    How come every 3 weeks there is a news that nitter is now dead, and then I go to the Nitter Instance Health Monitor, pick a random instance, and am still able to surf tweets?

    I dont get it. Is this wishfull thinking or do people not understand that instances other than nitter.net exist?

    EDIT: I gotta admit, there is a lot of red in the last days. But it is not completely gone. Yet.

            Like what? What’s still alive will time out within a week or so, there’s no keeping them around.

                Neither of us are on Reddit right now .

                But ok, good to hear something will keep going.

                  There needs to be a move to model more like Invidious where there is a database. Youtube’s got a helluva lot more to index and it’s managed. The account tokens thing was a bit unserious.

                  In the meantime if you need rss, try this:

                  https://news.google.com/rss/search?q=site:twitter.com/benjaminnorton

                  just swap out the name.

                  you have to paste the URL into an archive website lolz unless u want to login. very cumbersome & no retweets. i like having a retweet free RSS tho, no overlaps

                  also there are mastodon mirrors of twitter accounts and stuff that can be done

                  anyways, the site SUCKS. this should have been something to hold us over while people come to their senses and leave
