I tried to create one recently but there is now a fucking gauntlet of captchas and puzzles you have to solve to create an account.
Same goes for Google now.
it still could be made working with using real logins for scraping which can be a bit illegal but if you do it on your personal instance it would be more than enough. I'm not sure, maybe nitter already supports this instead of guest tokens?
Yes I believe it could, though we'll see if the devs are willing to keep supporting it

I didn't use Twitter for a decade but occasionally still read my feed until fuckface took over, and then deleted it. But the other day I wondered if someone I knew of who was palliative is still alive so I googled his Twitter, and for some reason they had mercy and let me see he is indeed still living, albeit really incapacitated. So thanks for not being shitty for one second Twitter, and now I hope you die off as a platform and are replaced by the fediverse.
What a poor name for a social media platform.
I am certain much of the Nitter use is to access 18+ stuff, and if the artists want to keep their incomes protected, they'll go to Fanbox or Fansly when their users can't use Nitter for easy wankbait.
What the shit is/was Nitter? Sorry I can't seem to keep up.
It's a private front-end service. So you can see Twitter posts without logging in or giving them your data. They obviously don't like that.
