“Nitter already won since It's open source. Anyone can just fork it and/or self-host it.”

“X needs revenue to continue to bypassing it illegal and should not be done.”

“Being able to access it without giving them your personal information and without jumping through hoops is a good thing.”

“Hosting a nitter instance on a Rpi or a phone behind tailscale is trivial in the post-llm age”

“Nitter offers a far better - lighter, faster - experience than X itself.”

“it would be useful to have a fault-isolated Nitter set up just for such important accounts”

“I think the UI is the best part. It seems more responsive to me too.”

“Why is not wanting to share my reading habits with Elon not a real reason?”

“All those instances keep the service relevant giving it more reach than necessary.”

“Let's all start using this on HN so we end up with a bunch of broken links in a few years”

“it is at least 10 times faster than the lethargic drugged ground sloth that is the X site”

“It seems like Nitter loses its original value proposition once it's no longer a one-to-many proxy.”

“Nitter is extremely lightweight on resources both at server level and at client.”

“You should be aware that linking to X content (whatever mechanism you use) supports it”

“I used nitter to pull posts of organizations and reporters to deliver breaking news in my area to me fast.”

“These are not clients but clones . They are cloning all the content .”

“What's the point of such a service? It sounds like performative nonsense.”

“Nitter seems to simply give you everything - and you can plainly see which tweets are getting huge distribution”

“Nitter permitted perusing of twitter (x-cremente) without being tracked by whoever has the keys to the backdoors”

“way lighter than using Twitter and gets the job done if you want to check few accounts”

“Even social media profiles can compress into feeds with a little help from solutions like Nitter”

“a no-bloat interface which allows you to quickly middle-click and open many new tabs”

“At least Xitter has Nitter proxies after they went full Javascript - which is also great since it allows accessing content that's often behind a registration wall.”

“I use libredirect to redirect to my own instances of Nitter, Redlib and Invidious”
