BREAKING - Twitter has been sold to Elon Musk and will go private after agreeing to a deal worth $44 billion. pic.twitter.com/vEkGwXTDmt— Disclose.tv (@disclosetv) April 25, 2022
The only reason I have an account is to follow people. It would be cool if there were an app that let you subscribe to users without needing an account. A chronological feed would be much better than the shit Twitter gives you anyway.
I feel like there was a golden age of the internet, before modern social media platforms, when everything was just blogs and wordpress sites and bulletin boards and geocities and you subscribed to all of it with an RSS reader.
I don't know for sure, because I wasn't using the internet in that way before social media. And if it did exist I'm sure everything was as shitty as it is today vis-a-vis web discourse. I just suspect that letting a handful of corporations control the means of communication will fuck everything up even worse than it already is.
You can follow accounts with Nitter like that. Has to be saved as a bookmark or something. You go Nitter.net/dril,byyourlogic etc. and it'll show you a feed with their posts.
I think there’s a YouTube client that does exactly that. I wonder if you’d have to pull a feed for every followed account at once in order to construct the feed
Yeah, I imagine so, but sites like Nitter should already be caching shit to some degree, (in fact, I know it is because I looked into installing it on my VPS and it makes heavy use of Redis).

I’m surprised there isn’t an app for this
Like if Nitter could just store a list of accounts in a cookie, that's all I want.

Fritter on Android does this.
