this feels like an example of performative FOSS
edit: I can’t even log into my twitter account to follow accounts. This means I’m just copy/pasting into the twitter app again anyway, defeating the purpose
edit 2: every nitter page will reopen in twitter if you click the tiny twitter icon in the upper right corner. Thanks @brainwormfarmer for the tip.
Yes. It accomplishes not having an account. I don't want a twitter account, so I don't have one. Nitter lets me look at people saying dumb stuff on twitter. Simple as.
that’s a lot of work for someone to build a twitter client, but alright. I’m definitely a design nerd, which is probably part of why the site bothers me
If you're a design nerd, consider that this is the twitter experience when I am not logged in: https://imgur.com/a/tQE1usg
Bright white theme, can't see shit past the constant login popups, can't click a link to another twitter account. Nitter saves me from all that horrible design.
oh yeah, thats’s a :dumpster-fire:. the mobile app’s dark mode though is :chefs-kiss:
the harder twitter tries to force me to make an account, the less i'm inclined to do so :meow-anarchist:
:yea:
