It'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).

yeah its because the api is so limited now
also theres imginn for insta now but i have no idea if its floss and its littered with ads

This is the problem. Biblogram basically got abandoned because the dev was tired of updating it to fight with Instagram's behavior, sadly. Wish it would be revived.

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.

Went 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

Yes and no. Its modern implementation is truly awful so the entire thing needs to be reworked. Maybe get rid of those likes and retweets entirely, cast them into the fire. Very early Twitter was way better.

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.

we need something with critical mass for breaking news. it's trivial to control the narrative when everyone is in controlled walled gardens where every click is monitored and recorded and saved to your record which is accessible to your local cop/landlord/porky

The way I see it, fedi is a transitionary tech as people get reacclimated to using RSS. It may persist as a guestbook / comment engine tho. That's gonna take a long time though, fedi will absolutely replace the certalized stuff, almost unnescessary to metion threads or bluesky when they're both cetralized competitors that came too late.

>If nothing changes, all remaining instances will go down eventually: Instances rely on guest accounts, which are valid for a certain time and of which you need a ton to run a public instance. The API for this got taken down and it doesn't look like a fluke this time.

there was once a time when I thought that surely if twitter got user-hostile enough people would eventually just like, go somewhere else, but I now see that the modern internet has thoroughly domesticated users to put up with absolutely anything. kinda like the state of the world in general really

fair point but it just is actually incomprehensible to me that people don't just go somewhere else. I left twitter for far less and had a lot more to lose than most people in terms of like clout or whatever. it's bad enough that all these corporate platforms glow like the sun but elon has made twitter objectively worse on a technical/usability level and yet people still keep using it.

It's more the lack of an alternative and also the way that twitter has become integrated with news and media. It's like a form of cancer that gets so deep that you are unable to remove it without destroying your organs.

 No.23238

it's a catch 22. if everyone moved to another platform there wouldd be no worth to twitter. but no single person dares leave because every other person hasn't left. and those other people haven't left because they don't dare to because every other person hasn't left and those other people haven't left because… on and on.
