Just putting the word out. With nitter.net going down last week due to some bad code that was committed, and with the creator later announcing that nitter is dead and that he won't be renewing the SSL certificate, most instances are already down as well as of ~yesterday. This one is still up (for the time being) however and still working well, even loading pages more quickly than the .net did normally.

The issue is with twitter guest tokens not being created anymore.

Its still possible to run private nitter instances using tokens from personal accounts created.
You will need multiple accounts created for it to cycle through without getting rate limited but that will also depend on how many people use the instance.

Is musk really taking legal action against people who use the twitter API against their wishes?

Not really legal action, Twitter has just closed all the openings used to access Twitter without an account. The last way opening Nitter used was generating these weird pseudo-accounts that old versions of the Android and iOS apps would temporarily create that essentially allowed "guest" access to Twitter, and Twitter just shut those down.

In theory someone here could create a few Twitter accounts and launch their own Nitter instance using them. This wouldn't scale at all due to the daily limits on free accounts, but for a relatively small amount of daily users it could work...

Working well


Bumping again. Poast is still the only instance that's consistently up and working. Still a bit slow but gets the job done.

Two other instances that are down 3/4 of the time but work on the rare occasion:
