I really like being able to confirm that something isn't made up or blown out of proportion, being able to quickly check stuff like 'how many people even agree with this take (a lot of times people leave out the engagement of a post)' and 'is this a genuine person in the first place (check out their profile or other posts)' to not poison discourse with made-up issues
That said, as others in this thread have pointed to, libdirect should be encouraged so they can discourage traffic to the actual site
e: though nitter sadly seems to be out of commission for new tweets, rip
There are accessibility concerns with doing that, if the poster doesn't provide alt-text. Images are basically unreadable to the vision impaired.
I just tried to access it and I get redirection errors. I guess they didn’t account for integration testing during their most recent sprint.
I wonder what that's going to do to ad revenue as millions of non account lurkers can't see content anymore and won't make an account
It seems to be more than individual tweets. The whole site seems down for me if I'm not logged in.
Can confirm.
I guess I'll never read another tweet again 🤷
Absolutely wonderful. I love looking at art on Discord, opening the tweet to get the high res pic to save (Yes, I'm aware of adding ?format=jpg&name=large at the end of the URL, already had to do it for some pics), then being blocked. Or trying to see some sports news, then being blocked again.
I like how George Hotz briefly worked at Twitter and got rid of the login after scrolling a bit blocker, and now you can't see anything.
