"Nitter is dead"
"Nitter currently relies on the mass generation of guest accounts, a weird anonymous form of account that was only supported by old versions of the Twitter app. Creation of them was totally disabled today, so every nitter instance will be dead in under 30 days (when they expire). Scrapers apparently also relied on this, as every public nitter instance was being hammered by scrapers earlier. Instances will probably shut down quite soon unless someone finds another way to create tens of thousands of accounts in an automated fashion for free." Quote from a Ycombinator thread on the topic. Basically they're crippling any attempts to use Twitter without logging in. Even the instances linked above may go dark soon unless a work around arrives :-/ Idk about any of you but in the past when I'd created a twtter the account was instantly locked unless I gave them my number iirc (it was something like that). And this was yyeeeaaaars ago before the current buyout and X transformation.

If you try to access nitter.net you'll be blocked (expired cert)
If any of you are frequent users you've probably been having access issues (rate limiting) you can find alternatve instances on this site: https://twiiit.com/ and on this wiki: https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/wiki/Instances however I've noticed all instances have been having similar ssues.
