The brief explanation is that Nitter worked by creating “guest accounts”, which were a leftover from when you used to be able to use the Twitter mobile app without an account. After creation, these accounts lasted for a month. The time since the ability to create these accounts was removed is nearing (has reached?) a month
So many of my fave artists already left for Bluesky or they also post on tumblr. The reason to have an actual twitter account keeps dwindling by the day.
It has been a while that Nitter shut down. Still a pity, a few artists posted only there
Posted only on nitter? Isn’t nitter only a frontend for twitter? I don’t think nitter has their own backend, but I can be wrong.
Yeah the top comment makes no sense.
Artists posted on Twitter, which people would access via Nitter
A while? I used nitter until like 12hours ago.

The only reason to still check Twitter is to see if they have moved off Twitter yet.
