imo hackernews should just automatically replace twitter.com with nitter.net even if just for readability without logging in's sake: https://nitter.net/xenadu0

We should just learn to ignore people still posting on Twitter (which is called something else now).

  I'm still posting on Twitter because the people I'm trying to reach are still there and the alternatives never materialised.

    Then you are still part of the problem. Besides, if you're trying to reach the people who remain on Twitter, that says a decent amount about you.

      "users of my application". You seem to be claiming that everyone still on Twitter is ideologically compromised. There's a ton of people just ignoring the politics and I still need a channel to reach them.
      - WendyTheWillow 3y ago
        The politics are all that are left; it's impossible to use Twitter and not participate on some level. For example, Twitter is now called X. Surely they noticed that.

        I can't take this seriously. Sorry.

        Yet again monetary selfishness wins over principle. Maybe you should stay on Twitter. Edit: Based on your website, who exactly are you trying to reach? Prospective clients? On Twitter? You say "users of your app", but it seems like that isn't a huge volume of people, and were you to move to Bluesky, they would almost certainly follow... Unless it's not worth it for them?

Is nitter.net still functional for you? The service was accessible earlier this year from my location but now it is all 403 Forbidden.

  nitter.net is, the mirrors are not. iirc, twitter turned off all anonymous access, unless you come from a search engine, then you get a limit number of requests. So zedeus came up with an idea to make a massive pool of search engine'd api tokens and use those to keep nitter up. The mirrors would have to copy that idea, and few (0?) have atm.

    The current state is to use guest accounts [1]. If you use that branch instead of master and get a collection of accounts, you can run your own instance. For my personal use instance this is working fine with the initial set of accounts I put in. No idea how long this will work and/or when it is going to get merged, it is a moving target. I think the token workaround you mentioned is the old way that no longer works, but I am not sure. [1] https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/pull/985 https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/pull/985
