I think the main reason is probably just how utterly irritating Twitter’s website has gotten. If I try to visit any Twitter link on my phone I currently see “This is not available to you” (not paraphrased.) Before this started happening, I frequently hit errors that required refreshing the page once. And even when it does work, the site is irritating, requires JS and frequently messes with my scroll position.
Nitter’s about page also provides some reasoning to use it: https://nitter.net/about https://nitter.net/about
- creato 6y agoTwitter almost always tells me I'm "rate limited" (can't remember the exact wording), even though it's usually the first and only time I've clicked on a twitter link in weeks or months. edit: And FWIW, I'm not someone who blocks scripts/otherwise cripples my browser either. I don't even run an ad blocker.

- jchw 6y agoI do not do any specific things to block cookies. I am seeing these symptoms at least on Safari/iOS with AdGuard and NextDNS, but if I disable every privacy feature I can think of it still behaves the same for me.
