Solutions? Ideally, people stop using Twitter. However, we need to face reality, that will not happen. I want to see occasional post / discussions people share on Twitter without fueling the beast.
What about Nostr based site with zappings to incentivize people to either snapshot or copy and paste text from Twitter and be compensated for it. Most in demand content gets more rewarded. Twitter gets no money, just people who copy the content. Maybe mirror some accounts to a similar account on Nostr?
I don't know how doable this is, but Just random idea.
I sure as hell am not getting a Twitter account, so I will accept living without information from it.

Heck not just Twitter, all platforms. In most situations, someone doing that would get sued, but via the distributed nature of Nostr, it's real difficult to know who to sue.

I'm bullish on nitter shutting down.
If you're a bitcoiner or someone who values freedom, there's absolutely no reason to use Twitter while nostr exists.
All cypherpunks are on Nostr. The only "influencers" posting exclusively on Twitter are scammers, shitcoiners, traders and people who only care about ETFs and fiat prices.

People sharing twitter content: please include a screenshot!
I'm not creating an account in that shithole.

I noticed that we can still access nitter using the Tor links that the nitter robot on SN always posts as a comment.

yeh, you can actually still access via http (type: "thisisunsafe" while on screen giving you nag warning about bad cert).
But all this will end in less than 30 days as guest accounts expire.
