I think Nitter is unofficially dead thanks to the most recent Twitter access constrictions for even just navigating there through a website. Multiple servers are giving very bad responses to profile queries that have always worked. There were a handful of accounts I still followed over on Birdshite/$8chan who either didn't jump over to the fediverse or jumped over and then jumped back. I have no intention of going to Twitter proper to see their content. I hope they at least start cross posting to either here or Bluesky (at least Friendica can bridge over to that experimentally). Until then to them I say "adiós muchachos" #nitter #twitter #ElonMuskIsADick #ElonMusk #friendica #bluesky #fediverse

If Twitter keeps things as clamped down as they are now then I don't see how they get around it but they have in the past. It's possible/probable Twitter didn't realize how much they are shooting themselves in the foot with their new draconian policy and may reverse it too which could bring it back. I'm just assuming those accounts are invisible forever to me now though.

Today I learned that it could be illegal by German law not being able to access posts and profiles without login, since by law you have to have an easy way to report illegal content. Some years ago Facebook had to pay a fine because for the similar reason.

Yeah I know 🙁. I had to shut down mine before the real API clamp down went into effect killing it for everyone else 🙁.

The only reason I looked was from links to posts here.
It looks like they have dried up overnight.
No loss.
If someone who is serious about getting their information out to the world, this event should be the kick in the pants/nads they need to find a new home.

So bluesky claims to be decentralized. To me that could mean that innovation rollout will be as slow and unevenly distributed like software versions here https://diaspora.fediverse.observer/list
Or do they have a different approach on that?

@Hey, nice pod! They have no approach or focus on the decentralization aspect of it in theory or in practice beyond the protocol.
