>>19308It's fucked. The advanced search sorting options were crucial for staying informed. How are we searching tweets now?
No.19431
So I take it this has to do with Twitter's API limitations? Or is it something inherent to Nitter itself and/or the instances themselves?
I guess even with this its better than what happened to Bibliogram, the Instagram frontend that last I checked was completely non-functional thanks to Instagram constantly breaking it. (
https://bibliogram.art/ has the listing of why they're discontinuing it. Code's still FOSS so if anyone has patience and desire to take on the project).

I hate this service so much. It's the one thing keeping me coming back to shovel Twitter slop down my throat even though I've mercifully never had an account in the past year. Please Elon just nuke your API so no one has to interact with your shitty site ever again.

>>20672Went to Nitter for news about the SCOTUS rulings and it's completely broken. Went to Twitter to see if Nitter was down and got a total brick wall. Searched Reddit for answers (using Google and DDG, yes I know cringe) only to be reminded it's gotten remarkably shittier since the blackouts, and the Google precision has declined too.
All the workarounds are failing. Even if we find another way this time, it'll keep getting shittier. Feels like the old internet is finally dead.
Maybe I should finally go outside

Now, it's still best-used for breaking news, PR and whistleblowers. If you feel the need to document every sip of latte you take then you can forget about your privacy, you absolute clown.
