I can't understand why you're basically making a thread about how Elon Musk is raising awareness of what I assume you consider a worthwhile and important video to watch, and then immediately go out of your way to undermine the platform by linking to this 0 traffic alternative that was useful back when the site was run by actual psychos.
Relax. Its for those who don't have accounts on X or got banned so they can read comments of X posts on Nitter instance.
Yo ur 3 years in bro how you not know what nitter is useful for, just curious
Because Twitter has been out of leftist hands (mostly) for a while now. Register an account and just use X. If for some reason people are literally unable to create accounts there, that's a different story I'm not aware of.
Most of what I've seen are people refusing to make accounts and demanding Nitter links because they want to deny the site traffic.
They require a telephone number. I won't do that.
I have an account--signed up after Elon bought it--and was never asked for a number.
All I needed was an email address, which I used one of those disposable-email sites for. 10minutemail, I think.
I’m sure you know X instantly bans most of the new accounts that banned users have tried to make. This was a bad take and very ignorant.
Ignorant is you being unable to read 4 whole sentences.
Nonetheless, the reasoning I mentioned before is reasoning I have seen plenty of times. And I don't know that what you're saying is accurate on a large scale, or what those banned users got banned for exactly. That being said, for all those users, that's a perfectly good reason to want to use Nitter.
You need to see 2 sides of a coin:
Elon does a good job sharing / legitimising some topics to his normie followers. That’s good.
At the same time his platform still blocks some users (never stopped censoring them) and some changes Elon has implemented limit the reach of the author and access to comments:
Example of blocked users in this Q post with hundred of people called by Q “Patriots” almost all are still blocked until now: https://qalerts.pub/?n=2881
Example how you can’t read the most recent posts (unless you’re not logged in as twitter user):
Twitter: https://twitter.com/RobertKennedyJr
Nitter: https://nitter.poast.org/RobertKennedyJr
To test - open the above 2 pages in the incognito mode. How many posts from 2024 do you see on each of them? Do you see the comments on both?
Sharing a Nitter link is helpful to those who don’t want to be tracked (what information do they read) and who want to read comments.
It’s said to see that you got downvotes for raising a valid question. As you can see: opinions can be different. I appreciate what Elon is doing but I personally don’t like using slow Nitter just because Elon has blocked comments and most recent profile feeds, something that worked when “psychos” were in charge. As you can see: there are 2 sides of a coin and we need to live with it. The guy who has shared the link actually helped me to read it properly.
This has bothered me for a while. Just get on Twitter! I was banned. I couldn't open my account post Elon. I got a new one. X is the fron lines now. Get up there!
Privacy. All that data of what you watch, follow etc. is just sitting in a database somewhere tied to your IP address. There's nothing stopping Elon from selling the company at some point or even selling your data at any point.
