Goodbye twitter I guess. There's no longer any way to see twitter things people send you without an account

What the shit is/was Nitter? Sorry I can't seem to keep up.

A way of reading twitter posts without needing to go to twitter. Particularly useful since you now need an account to see twitter posts.

Thanks, I guess I never tried reading a twit post to learn of the issue.

It was also helpful for getting links to Twitter pics and vids to embed here.

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.
