Tangent but is Nitter still around? I thought they had shut down the project because Xitter was locking them out. I used to rewrite search results to point to nitter and it was rather nice.
Edit: looks like some instances are still alive and I assume coasting under the radar, but the original nitter project is still dead.
- layer8 2y agoNitter.net is defunct, but the software is open source and alternative instances exist.
- gh02t 2y agoAhh, yes I used to self host it but turned it off when they stopped development. When I saw the parent comment I was briefly hoping someone had picked it back up or forked it.
- ThrowawayTestr 2y agoWhy would you stop hosting just because development stopped? Did it stop working?
- gh02t 2y agoWhen I read the announcement I misunderstood it to mean that it was going to stop working in general, and that was right around the time I was migrating my selfhosted stuff to a new server and doing some cleanup. So I didn't bother migrating it over.
- bmacho 2y agoI think twitter rate-limits everyone. For example, I don't think that the nitter instance up there will survive the requests of HN-ers.
