Why do people hate twitter so much? It is undeniably the most bitcoin friendly social network out there

I can only speak for myself:
UX is complete garbage Tells you to login after scrolling for 2 seconds, or you can't use it Highly politicized Highly negative for my mental health because of the content / rage New guy (Musk) in charge trying to be the new slave master Censoring / banning people
There's probably more but that's off the top of my head

  • Highly negative for my mental health because of the content / rage
  • New guy (Musk) in charge trying to be the new slave master
Joking aside, I don’t see how it is worse than any other social media. Nitter is just sad. Using some unofficial APIs hoping daddy musk doesn’t shut them down.

Using some unofficial APIs hoping daddy musk doesn’t shut them down.
There are hundreds of Nitter instances operating. Twitter would need to kill the API functions that Nitter uses to "shut them down".

That is exactly my point. Those hundreds of Nitter servers are utterly pointless when Twitter can just say “hey this app is stealing from us, turn that off.”

A lot, lot, LOT more than just Nitter uses Twitter's APIs.

Yeah a lot of apps use Twitter official APIs with terms and rate limits etc.
Nitter uses unofficial APIs. That means that they don’t have permission to republish the data. It would be more respectable to just start using Nostr instead
