Finally someone doing something to stop this AI overload

Will this list automatically update as instances hit rate limits or break for other reasons? Some public instances only have one account to log in with, some have thousands and use residential proxies.

No, not automatically. The list is instances which are reliable, so if an instance is ratelimited any noticeable portion of the time, it won't be up there.

Switching torrent sites every time one gets taken down.

But why wouldn't you?

They're all perfect substitutes. When one is down you can use another. They can't stop us all. I just wish there was a way to automatically redirect to a working instance.

What doesn't work is posting a link to a specific Nitter instance with the expectation that that link will persist.

Which is what HN has been doing for Twitter submissions for approximately two years:

<https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...>

Those links are all now dead.

It's inconvenient that the links are dead, but all the information needed to find the referenced information is still stored in the link. You just have to change the domain to a working instance.

LibRedirect kind of does so, it's not 100% there yet

Love this extension. One stop shop and supports any custom alt front-end you want for any website you want. Usually they have all the major ones and are quick to update with mirrors when something goes down but allowing you to do it yourself is a great fallback

Found this Android app to work quite well. It just lacks working nitter instances right now but you can customize them:

Germany is also supplying Russia, should Spain exit the mostly-Germany-controlled EU?

What?

Think they're referring to oil and gas sales

It's not possible for FOSS to compete with Google in Google's niche — try it and you'll see why. It's possible to find a different niche and expand there.

It's not a platform, it's server-side software for creating a platform.

Do people go looking for videos?

I think I go to YouTube because it has interesting content, and the fact it's in video form isn't particularly relevant. Some content must be in video form but not all of it. I also follow several blogs, and Hacker News. I used to use Reddit when it was less enshittified, the way I use YouTube now. I don't know why I don't follow Nebula - I have a subscription because I want to support more independent platforms.

I don't think it was ever a joke?

People get tired of trying to push back a tsunami with their bare hands. Other people were born into the tsunami and just accept that everything is underwater.
