yeah mood. I only just realized I could be using nitter to bypass login a few days ago! and now this 😔 back to just saying "hey I can't see the thread you're linking to can you screenshot it or something" on discord all the time i guess

I've got to hand it to Elon Musk, I didn't appreciate what we had until he threw it away. Hate to say it, but Twitter, for all it's problems, was good.
Things which felt like institutions are dying before fast. Google Search, Twitter, Windows, etc. are all gone or hollowed.
Been thinking about the fact I'll probably live to see linux get replaced or die too. Honestly chilling to think.

A shame, without nitter if you don't have an account you cant view threads or comments, only the original post you were linked to, so this leaves users without accounts unable to see most of the site, and i'm sure as hell not making a new twitter account.

I think I was banned from Twitter for searching too hard. There's a couple of good guys with permaculture and social science effort threads there that I consulted a lot, but needed some search-fu to find. I think I failed the Turing test.

you could host a gitea instance and use it to keep the scripts and config used to provision it in a git repo
