I write about how our digital and networked world changes how we work, learn, decide and organize. I explore the tools and strategies that help us navigate the networked world. There are several publicly available instances of Nitter that you can use, distributed across various protocols including the clearnet, as well as Tor, I2P, and Lokinet. You can also follow the instructions on Nitter's GitHub repository to set up your own instance. James, most Niter instances indeed fail to work, or to work reliably, but not all. There is a workaround though with a sleek project called ‘Fairside” : “A redirecting service for FOSS alternative frontends” as mentioned on [https://github.com/benbusby/farside]. Practically speaking it holds an updated list of frontends that are active of course and which work correctly, available at [https://farside.link/] for lists to instances other than Cloudflare-based, and [https://cf.farside.link/] for lists including Cloudflare-based instances. These frontends’ lists include one dedicated to Nitter instances. Yandex is the only search engine that displays Nitter results from time to time, but you know, you hope the instance they gave you is not the one that is broken.

Dr. Freddy and Moving the Frontiers of Learning Today I attended the public defense of the PhD thesis of Freddy Veltman-van Vugt, titled ‘Grensverleggend leren’ (roughly translates to ’moving the frontier of learning forward’). She focused on what it takes for teachers to learn and teach skills critical to our highly digitised and interconnected world in a self directed way. Her doctorate already […]We Installed Our First LED Light Bulb Today Today we installed our first LED light bulb. We got it as part of a national action by the ‘Nationale Postcodeloterij’ (‘national zip-code lottery’ where your zipcode is your lottery number). In this action all 2.5 million households that take part in the lottery get a LED lamp. That means that 1 out of every […] For now I found a Dutch instance (on this list), and will see if adding some RSS feeds through them is workable.

Nitter primarily serves as a read-only interface, meaning you can view and interact with existing tweets, but posting new tweets is not supported.

Edit: nitter.net uses more graphql endpoints than most instances because it's running a dev versionAd-Free Browsing: Nitter eliminates the distraction of ads, allowing users to focus solely on the content they’re interested in.
