All of these services are more useful, more accessible, and more inclusive than their corporate counterparts. They work better on older browsers and low-end devices. They have better performance. They aren’t spying on you. In short, they are rejecting the domestication of their users that the platforms they interact with have been trying to do.
No matter how much I want to like and recommend these projects, mainly for those last 2 sentences, unfortunately the rest of picture this paints doesn't seem to be completely true for me: while Nitter for example is ok, I've tried to switch to e.g. Invidious so many times and in the end it's just a pain to use. Most of the time it loads slower, if it even loads, and every x days I have to try another server, etc. So in the end it is simply worse than the counterparts on those fronts, and I have the impression using e.g. youtube in private windows gives most of the other benefits as well.
