You can want to read something someone else has posted without giving your data to the owner of Twitter.


So, it’s a nazi app that you can’t help but continue to read.

I don’t get it.


- it’s a nazi app

- some important non nazi information exists only on this app

- the nazi app is being harmed by nitter

Seems like using nitter would align with their worldview. Curious how you’ve failed to make this connection?


[flagged]


Where did I say that?


Because Millions of people including myself love the app, and we're not Nazi's last time we checked. We just disagree with leftism.


Again, where did I say any of that? It’s a quote from the GitHub issue. The guy you’re mad at isn’t even here.

I’m just saying that using nitter logically follows the belief that Twitter is a nazi app, and the gotcha issued by the original commenter here has, in fact, not gotten anyone.


What's not to get? The statements don't conflict


Well, when heads of state, important ministers, politicians etc post things there, it's an unfortunate reality that you sometimes have to read it to stay in the loop. (I think Nazi app is a bit of an overstatement myself)


Rather than calling it a Nazi app, it's more apt to say it's a Corporate Oligarchy app.
