I don't know if it's just me but I can't seem to view the nitter link, says the tweet isn't found, I can't use the OP Twitter link because I can't see anything without logging in.

  I ran across a thread once indicating that the guy who hosts that instance has a bit of a fight on his hands keeping it usable. Frequently fights hoards of bots, that sort of thing. Your signal probably got mistaken for some noise. We need Nitter and BitTorrent to have a baby, p2p so we can share the load.

    They did, and it works well ipfs.

      IPFS would be a good layer to build this on top of, but IPFS itself doesn't handle the correspondence between URL and CID. As it is, web DOMs are too variable to handle via content addressing. This would involve eliminating parts of the page that are unlikely to be stable (i.e. ads, pagination based on screen size, session specific details like usernames), and use that for the CID. That way the only time that users end up storing separate copies of the page is when it has actually been changed substantially. You'd probably also need some code to fluff the normalized content back up into something that makes sense for the device you're reading it on.

    Ah that would make sense because the CSS also didn't load in the page It's probably for the same reason I can't view many other sites like Reddit, Imgur etc, because our VPN exit IP is from a cloud hosting provider.

  twiiit.com (three i's) will act as a round-robin to a working Nitter instance.

  The twitter link doesn't work if you don't have an account, so I personally found the alternatives helpful.

  X links are near useless if you don't have an account or are logged out since you can't view threads.

  Better shut down Nasa too then.

Thank you for the alternative to X. I feel somehow complicit in supporting someone likely aligned with something unspeakable any time I click an X link.

    That's a different issue, is it not? It seems weak argumentation to change the subject any time someone says something you don't like.

    No, because they don't require me to login and/or be exposed to toxic sludge
