The enshitification is very, very real. This is why the Fediverse is so important.

Events across the world have reduced my faith in corporations. Open-source, community-driven solutions are definitely the answer. Twitter has closed itself since it was acquired. Not to forget the Reddit api fiasco. With platforms closing themselves, they prevent the right to information. Anyone on the web should be able to access a microblogging site that plays (or played) such an important role in the world.

Arstechnica post has comments filled with how emergency services updates are posted on Twitter. We should all be part of the solution by promoting an open web that is not controllable by a singular entity.

That being said, for a service like emergency alerts, it definitely should be hosted on a site like Mastodon. It even has RSS.

To make matters worse, I just read an article about how the Indian government might be deciding to block proton mail.

Twiit (twiiit.com) checks for nitter instances that still work and redirects you.

It’s nice in theory, but I’ve had very little luck using it for the last few days.

I wouldn’t be surprised if whatever instances it picks to send people to are soon afterwards rate limited because demand is too high relative to supply.

EpicVision ,

Well yeah, it’s not a proper long-term solution. But making a twitter account with a burner email from Guerrilla Mail is surprisingly easy, I guess that will be the only option going forward.

Just switch to mastodon.

It’s great but no one interesting really posts on there

i can still access it through nitter.net (even if the cert is not working you can still use the ‘thisisunsafe’ method in chrome).

The same shit as Reddit. Glory to Mastodon.

That’s Xitter’s last dying gasp, for me. I have only accessed it through Nitter for many months now.

A major German party (SPD) decided to quit using Twitter a few weeks ago.

lemmytellyousomething ,

They want a free market. They want to sell their service across borders. They don’t want law makers to limit what they can do.

And what’s their service? A non-democratic system with many limitations and restrictions and they decide on a very detailed level what you have to do to use it.

Lol whos using Twitter ?

Unfortunately, lots and lots of people

Too many people/companies/governments depend on Twitter.

Guess I won’t be opening any twitter links anymore 🤷

And with it dying I think that’s probably the last time I’ll look at Twitter. If something isn’t publicly available on something like Mastodon it isn’t worth making an account to see.

I’ve enabled auto redirect from twitter to nitter and never bothered to disable the no longer working redirect. Hopefully people switch to some platform with open API access (or rather, a federated platform)

I think it’s more winning the battle but losing the war for Twitter. It just ain’t the same and probably never will be.
