Basicallly the only vialable nitter altnerative I’m aware of at the moment, biggest downsides being you need a twitter account and you can only access it through android, but it does offer the abillity to see your feed in an rss style, aka no recommendations, which is very useful if you only need to follow a few remaining twitter accounts and don’t want to wade through a sea of Elon’s spicy memes in between the accounts you actually follow.

    aaaand they blocked it.

    I get what they want to make, but the second it becomes popular they’re going to do something that disables it. See all of the iMessage workarounds. Plus… it’s twitter. It’s dead folks, just accept it

      they have not blocked it and they probably won’t block it bc it involves signing in with your twitter and since it’s just an android app it’s not gonna get as big as nitter, I don’t think it’s really helpful to tell people to “just accept it” as an individual you’re not gonna be able to successfully lobby everything you follow to change to bluesky (which I think you can get rss feeds from) or masto (which you can get rss feeds from), like for example your city’s local government/services only posts on facebook and twitter, no rss, this is still useful for things like that
