Just found out about Nitter as a way to read public #Twitter without going through their JavaScript madness and it's *so much faster*.

Just replace the domain in any twitter.com URL with nitter.net and it'll load it.

Alternatively consider using one of the alternative Nitter instances to reduce load on the main one: https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/wiki/Instances

@polychrome Nitter rocks. It's also the only way to even use Twitter on a lot of legacy mobile device. There's a similar tool for Instagram called Bibliogram. There's also this handy-dandy browser extension which you can toggle to automatically redirect Twitter, Instagram, Youtube and a bunch of other sites to cleaner/more-lightweight frontends: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/privacy-redirect/

Similar thing to reddit https://teddit.net/

Would be nice if someone adds it to this addon
or on apps like untrackme on the fdroid store

@polychrome Yes! Also a plugin like Privacy Redirect can change Twitter links to Nitter automatically, as well as Google maps to Openstreetmap and YT to invidious etc.

@polychrome somebody said the n-word in his software development chatroom, and then after being asked what he thought about it, said "I don't really care". he then threatened me with legal action after I mentioned the incident on my blog
