or use nitter https://nitter.esmailelbob.xyz/JoeBiden/status/1756888470599967000

I’m surprised it’s real

Damn. The number of unhinged wingers on that thread is too high. Even with nitter, that site sucks.

The worst fucker I spotted was Libs of TikTok, it's always a bad day when I'm reminded that they exist.

I thought Nitter was dead when Musky finally killed off the API?

[–] fin@sh.itjust.works 8 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Nah it’s revived somehow a while ago. I’m not sure how it works.

someone must have set up a scraping account.

They were saying that nitter may continue to work with already existing guest accounts for up to 30 days. That was around the end of January? I haven’t heard of anyone finding a workaround to the end of guest accounts. I may be out of the loop though.

Edit: This is the GitHub thread about the end of Nitter, as of this edit it doesn’t seem like they haven’t found a work around. Apparently some instances will still work with an account but will probably be rate limited hard.
