The “guest account” loophole on which nitter depended seems to have been shut off, so nitter servers will stop working over the next few weeks. This means that using Twitter without logging in will be pretty much impossible.

    I maintain that the fediverse should be viewed as a Usenet clone with easier self-hosting

      should make an alternative markup and transfer protocol for fediverse. copy the best bits of the web, but take away the baggage so it’s easier to build new browser engines

I’m gonna try some shit, if it works stay tuned for a quick and dirty Gemini interface for our instance
