Nitter is dying

the web is dying
even technical communities use discord now. It's SO fucking over.
What's driving me mad at the moment is the plague of bands, artists, organizations using linktr.ee instead of a website (or even if they have a website). That's what your website is for!
Actual web developers going nuts over Arc browser because of the UI
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.
well fuck. this isn’t unexpected, but I’ll miss being able to view twitter threads in any kind of non-shitty way
Presumably this ought to quicken to death of Twitter, so it's not necessarily ALL bad news. In the meantime there is always copy paste, it's not perfect receipts, but it's sufficient for most sneering purposes.
EDIT: It is a bit nuts considering the number of Official Agencies world wide that issue press releases on twitter, and not really anywhere else convenient to access by the general public (Although that is also them displaying questionnable practices.)
Good...now maybe companies will answer their damn phone when you have a problem instead of trying to redirect you to make accounts at totally unrelated websites.
Unfortunately I think this is a win for those companies; you already had to create an account to interact, but now you can't even see other people's complaints without one.
The only way to use twitter.

Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.
AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)
This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.
[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]
