If you're not interested in visiting twitter directly.



Nitter is best Twitter.


FWIW, you can use an extension like Redirector (https://einaregilsson.com/redirector/) to automatically redirect any Twitter URL to Nitter with the following:

    Redirect: https://twitter.com/\*
    to: https://nitter.net/$1
    Hint: Twitter to Nitter
    Example: https://twitter.com/yishan/status/1586955288061452289
    Applies to: Main window (address bar)
I'm also using this for 'fixing' referral URLs but that's another story.


I would rather see a blog post instead of a stream of dozens of tweets...



This is about on par with people ordering "Kiev Mules" instead of "Moscow Mules"


Nah, the difference is that nitter doesn't stop you from using it with a modal and a force stripping of the browser's progressively loaded content if you aren't logged in.

I've used nitter for a couple of years now instead of twitter because I have no intention of ever making an account.


Elon removed the modal and login requirements


Strange, I still get them as of today.


I was doing this drink and a friend of mine said it was not sensible given the current times.

He was kidding, but it really threw me off.


Not really, it's more like homemade mac and cheese vs kraft mac and cheese; in the former you get to control the ingredients


You have a typo there. It's called Kyiv.


Both spellings are accepted.


If a person went as far as ordering a "Kyiv Mule" instead of a "Moscow Mule", I'd assume that they'd be the type of person to care about choosing the spelling preferred by Ukrainians instead of the one preferred by Russians.


That is fair and I wasn't aware of the distinction. Thanks.
