twitter's site design has been rapidly devolving to the point where today scrolling anywhere replaces the content with a "PLEASE PLEASE PLEAAASE LOG IN 🥺" full-screen prompt, as metrics continue to drop it'll probably stop serving content altogether to people who don't want to log in before long
nitter & derivatives are popup and ad-free and preserve deleted content to some extent
Little gremlins on websites that go onto your computer and watch what you're doing when you go to another website so they can attempt to sell you things
Big data advertisers that work with multiple different websites track users across thousands of sites that they work with and then piece together their entire portfolio of online activity and sell it to companies that want to figure out how to convince you to buy shit you don't need.
Just so everyone is aware of the capabilities here, I used to work for a nationwide self-storage company and if someone clicked on a Hulu ad to reserve a unit, we'd have their CV/resume, parsed through a web API by some company called "Sovren", and their whole profile fed through a machine learning model to determine how likely they were to actually move in and whether we needed to actually keep a unit empty until their supposed move-in date (because it was a relatively competitive industry, just empty rooms basically, there were no reservation fees).
Why does everyone on this site use a link to a tweet that takes three times as long to load rather than just sharing the actual twitter link

FOSS folks wanting to use the open source front end that doesn’t include twitter’s tracking scripts
Could you explain what this is for the technologically illiterate like me

I had to disable it because nitter mirrors are often down, and I'm thinking of hosting a personal nitter instance that runs from a laptop

That should have been this websites name
There are so many frontends to reddit because it has a relatively open API. Teddit.net has always been super fast.
