Twitter/X redirection doesn't work

Closed this issue · 5 comments

If I click on a twitter link, I'm not redirected to Nitter anymore. My browser auto-updated the extension, so I guess this is intentional as Nitter is now completely useless without an account?

In all cases, I don't like the unexpected change. I'd have preferred the original domain to be blocked and getting some warning of sorts, not being redirected to the original without a hint why the extension failed at its job.

It's such a shame that even after leaving google play and such garbage distribution platforms behind me, disabling automatic updates its still regularly validated by various software projects issuing downgrades.
I always have to keep in mind to not update Libredirect ever again. It has happened 2 or 3 times already, but I somehow come to terms with it and updated. Not sure if that will happen once more.

Nitter is working. Here is proof:

What is the name of the instance?

Sorry, forgot to include that. It was nitter.privacydev.net .

At the moment it is rate limited, but thats normal by the past x years.
But not even. Just before sending in this comment, I reloaded the page, and now it has loaded properly:
