The “guest account” loophole on which nitter depended seems to have been shut off, so nitter servers will stop working over the next few weeks. This means that using Twitter without logging in will be pretty much impossible.

    I maintain that the fediverse should be viewed as a Usenet clone with easier self-hosting

    and therefore it will be the prerogative of one of the big Silicon Valley players to kill it as dead as humanly possible

      should make an alternative markup and transfer protocol for fediverse. copy the best bits of the web, but take away the baggage so it’s easier to build new browser engines

        for some folks that’s gopher or Gemini, and I can’t say I disagree with that choice. I wonder how fancy one could get with rendering, within the bounds of those protocols?

          e: I had an extended rant here about how Gemini doesn’t support sessions or posting text, but it seems the Gemini site is a liar and it does sessions more or less exactly how I hoped it did. I’m gonna try some shit, if it works stay tuned for a quick and dirty Gemini interface for our instance

            I would love to see that.
