  some people don't want to give clicks to X, no we're not done with it. It doesn't harm you does it?

      So the question is, what does a commercial website gain from people clicking on links to that website? I’m not even sure where to start to explain that one if one has to ask.

      if nitter robs twitter, then ublock robs youtube and youtubers. actually worse because nitter at least saves musk money on server costs.

Thanks for posting this. I mostly gave up on viewing the one or two Twitter feeds that interest me after nitter stopped working. It wasn't ideological, I just wasn't able to reliably view and navigate without an account, and when I made an account it just kept showing me like "black HS football player bad sportsmanship". Look like I've got about two years of James Cage White story arcs to check in on.

  This has been so useful to me that I've created a filter in URLCheck[0] that automatically converts all X-related links. [0] https://github.com/TrianguloY/URLCheck https://github.com/TrianguloY/URLCheck

Why does this work while nitter doesn’t?

  This is a hosted instance of nitter, the reason why nearly all nitter instances died is because "guest" accounts got removed, so now you need tons of real twitter/x accounts instead of just generating thousands of "guest" accounts.
