Would be horrible if loads of people made independent clones/mirrors of that repo while it’s up again

Could you also imagine how terrible it would be if people started also hosting a bunch more nitter instances now it’s up? Think of the shareholders!

Oh shit, real talk.

[Edit, for clarity,] But without open source search engines, most are at the mercy of the oligarchy.

Does anyone know if there’s a Nitter phone app?

No, I don’t think Nitter works in a way to allow it

Not really an app, only redirects URL from twitter/x to a nitter instance

Well you’re wrong

f-droid.org/en/packages/com.plexer0.nitter/

apt.izzysoft.de/packages/com.kaleedtc.nitterium

github.com/kaleedtc/Nitterium

Not an app but if you’re using Firefox on Android then LibRedirect will let you point various sites to wherever you want.

A company known for scraping and stealing copyrighted material is butthurt that someone else is scraping their content. “Do as we say not as we do.”

The phrase you want here I beleive is “rules for thee but not for me.”

Do as we say, not as we do is also broadly used. No need to split hairs.

Was Barbara involved, or did they just fear her?

Seems Xcancel maybe too? It shows a Nitter logo though.

Exit: Iys working, but it redirects to a Nitter clone of some kind with a Nitter domain.

Which is great because it means my DNS redirexts on Twitter links work again.

“my nitter instance broke containment and started scraping Twitter…”

LMAO, yes! I feel like I should start throwing different bot farm projects at the wall and see what “sticks” enough to get me rich … Except I don’t have a clue how to start

Start typing into chatgpt, that’s a viable business model now apparently

Firefox reader mode counts as scraping too. Should Firefox block that feature?
