Nitter is over - It's been a fun ride

Don't trust corporations, especially those where one egomaniac has all the power.

I disagree with the inference of the second part, publically traded companies are forced by shareholders to lay off workers and sabotage long term plans for short term profits all day every day, and they're emboldened and desperate knowing their grift has nowhere left to grow/metastasize on a finite world they've already largely raped, pillaged, and conquered for it's capital value.

The problem isn't whether one egomaniac majority shareholder capitalist or 1,000 egomaniac shareholder capitalists let their insatiable greed disease do the managing.

The problem is capitalism and the worst of human impulses it stokes exclusively by design.

Fuck Elon Musk the blood emerald heir with a bachelor's degree playing pretend he's Tony Stark though.

If you want to follow Twitter accounts from Mastodon, there's a bridge called Bird.Makeup that still works and is working on a workaround to this issue.

I'm working on a Mastodon client called Agora that integrates this bridge into the search, so that if you search for "elonmusk@twitter.com" it automatically loads the bridged Mastodon version of the profile: https://agorasocial.app/#/andrew.masto.host/a/111844567849084915

What to do now?

Just avoid the whole twixttwr thing.

There's not enough of value there to bother trying to find a benign way of accessing it.

I never really used Twitter, the only reason I still sometimes check it out is because of some artists that mainly post there. Wonder if there is a site where there's majority of artists and also majority of their newest art too.

We will miss you. We won't let those corporate egomaniacs take over.

Twitter should have died years ago, but somehow having Musk still there makes plenty of sense.

That's a shame, been using the firefox extensions on my phone and pc for months. Looks like I won't be viewing any tweets anymore unless they're embedded in some shit-tier 'XYZ happened and people are furious' "article"

It's a terrible day for rain. o7

Not sure about unsung, but definitely heroes in my book.
