Nitter has more working instances than before the takedowns

Awesome. Let's all start using this on HN so we end up with a bunch of broken links in a few years

We could stop thinking of them as walled gardens we're trying to get into and start thinking of them as quarantines for the Eternal September population.

I guess X never heard of the Streisand effect...

Any user scripts that automatically redirect to a working instance?

The not needing an account is obviously not minor, but honestly, the UI is just better , by a lot . I made a twitter account a while ago using one of those throw away email address sites, so I have an account that I don't care about that I can use for twitter....but the experience just sucks. I don't know how any stands it, even if they don't mind needing an account.

Yeah, but most of these will fall. I used to use one or two of these to scrape my friends' posts because I stopped using Twitter and they'd inevitably all disappear in time. It's like chasing the latest TPB. In the end, I just logged in a headless browser and told an agent to fetch daily.

Will this list automatically update as instances hit rate limits or break for other reasons? Some public instances only have one account to log in with, some have thousands and use residential proxies.
