TIL free twitter rss feeds are still a thing (sort of)

[milo_r]

Hello friends, did you know you can still get Twitter RSS feeds for free by using Nitter? Which is a cool open-source Twitter front-end that you can use to browse the evil bird site without being tracked, you can even run your own instance if you’re a nerd. If the people you need to follow are less than 23 you can build the url like nitter(.)net/user1,user2,user3 and get a single feed (or a bunch of feeds that are groups of 23, I guess). You can’t have any kind of Nitter account, it’s just an alternative way to read the website in the unfortunate case you still have a bunch of cool Twitter people you’d like not to lose track of, not a Twitter alternative (look into Mastodon instances for that). There’s even some neat browser extensions that will automatically turn all your Twitter urls into Nitter ones (usually together with similar sites for other privacy-destroying websites like Reddit and Instagram). Enjoy.
