Thank you for Nitter. Big thanks to all the collaborators!

The services that used this project was maybe one of most I interacted over internet for the past several years. I loved that I can follow discourse in politics and critical theory without the need to be driven by attention hungry algorithms. To be able to read such content through RSS feeds as if it was a some sort of Linux distribution mail list was a lot of fun. I really don't know how I can continue my life without random book suggestions by a random postdoc in Leiden university! I really wish that many academics that use Twitter come into terms to use Mastodon or similar software.

Thanks for your great project and shoutout to all of the sysadmins endlessly taking care of the nitter services!

• Will Nitter be revived if a new way to access the network without an account is found in the future?
• How are e.g. nitter.unixfox.eu and nitter.freedit.eu still running? Do they have a pool of real accounts, and then try to prevent automated requests?

(Thank you, everybody who contributed to Nitter.)

How are e.g. nitter.unixfox.eu and nitter.freedit.eu still running? Do they have a pool of real accounts, and then try to prevent automated requests?

nitter.unixfox.eu grabbed it's last batch of accounts with newest guest account at 2024-01-18T06:24:45+00:00
nitter.freedit.eu at 2024-01-19T17:27:16+00:00

If my math is correct, their last accounts will be expired 17 and 52 hours from now, respectively. And they too will be going dark.

nitter.unixfox.eu is still up since guest accounts are valid for 1 month, not 30 days :

$ dateutils.ddiff $(date -d '-1 month' -u -Is) 2024-01-18T06:24:45+00:00 -f '%H hours remaining'
17 hours remaining

he's just farming the dumb people. look in replies of his tweets.

Also paying my respects. Nitter was the only way I used Twitter for a while. Now that it's going away I think that will be the end of my Twitter usage.
I hope Musk is happy to kill this platform for everyone except the neurotics who are mentally dependent on checking it every minute.

Just recently registered to say thank you guys for your service. Really appreciate how I can use Twitter through a frontend without JavaScript, ads, login walls, oversized UIs, and "Please Subscribe" crap.

Slightly off-topic: The ways that social media companies are trying to kill third party services makes 90s-2000s Microsoft look like a charity lol.

I hate modern UIs lol , you can’t even see where the icons are, buttons don’t blend, lazy writing and lack of context… and some how CRM products from 8 years ago are considered old , they aren’t

Think of elawn (or mark) greed or real life social skills and ability to read the room and it makes what's happening and will end up happening so predictable. just sad.

It looks like Nitter is over; every instance is not working right.
