Shitter – A Nitter Fork

BLKNSLVR

I thought it should be called Xitter, but pronounced Shitter.

can someone explain to me how these things keep popping up and disappearing and how are they able to just spin them up at will somehow?

see: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49571634 "Nitter has more working instances than before the takedowns" many working instances right now: https://codeberg.org/shitter/shitter/wiki/Instances

somehow i feel this reflects if not also enhances the cultural position of x.com.

I made a thing that uses Nitter to have a revchron timeline of people in the tech space. No algorithm, every post shows up (unless you filter out an account). Feedback is appreciated: https://techtwitter-lime.vercel.app

Would love to redirect more often to shitter instances with https://xxcancel.com . But there seems to be a bug loading images (e.g. profile pictures or attached pictures to tweets) in Firefox. Example: https://shitter.thepixora.com/search?f=tweets&q=elon+musk Wont show any pictures in Firefox for me. Works in Chrome. Can this be fixed? Thank you!

I am begging these things to use a normal fucking name for once

There’s really no reason to bother with social networks owned by literal far right supporters

Is the code crap? Is it optimized for shitposting? Is it called so to show disdain towards the service formerly known as Twitter?

Stop using platforms that are clearly operated by fascists. Then we won't need such tools anymore.

The fact that there is not even a sentence explaining why it's a fork, i.e., how it differs from the original, suggests this was only on the front page because of the name. Kinda dumb!

Rarely am I so envious of another’s idea. This makes me jealous. I wish I’d thought of it, even though I’ve never used the original and I’d never use it after it became what it has become.

The readme doesn't even say anything about why the fork is created and its difference from Nitter.
