Honestly it’s for the best. It’s not worth using any resources on that platform. This just makes it even less relevant for people who are not signed up. Musk is building a wall around people nobody wants to interact with anyway.

I was using Nitter to connect with local groups in my municipality who insist on using social media as their platform to inform the community of events, public notices, and development updates.

So this sucks. Even our local police communicates through Twitter.

Still, I refuse to sign up to it (again). Musk can eat a bag of dicks for all I care.

Musk is now actively developing Shitter

With further future plans to create the follow up program called Shittier

@showroom7561@lemmy.ca and anyone else:

If you want to follow Twitter accounts from Mastodon, there’s a bridge called Bird.Makeup that still works and is building a workaround to this issue.

I’m working on a Mastodon client called Agora that integrates this bridge into the search, so that if you search for “elonmusk@twitter.com” it automatically loads the bridged Mastodon version of the profile:
