Twitter is doing its best to paywall and authwall content. Fighting this is a losing battle. I think that the best alternative to Nitter is probably learning to live without Twitter. For the folks you used to follow, try reaching out to them to see if they are willing to also send updates on other platforms. If they are, great. If not, well, it may be time to let them go.
For public accounts that are still using Twitter, definitely write appropriate representatives to request that they use more open means of disseminating important information. Twitter used to be the "public square", but its actively hostile behavior toward lurkers and non-paying members means that it no longer serves this purpose. In turn, public accounts that use Twitter aren't reaching as many people as they used to, and in time, will reach fewer and fewer people.
