What is this even referring to? What is better about twitter vs nitter? Twitter is literally twitter- no right winger should feel much different than an actual, sexual cuckold for using it
Yeah exactly. Most Nitter mirrors are less stable and slower than Twitter, but I still use it over Twitter any day.
Sometimes it's even better, because it stops me from watching any worthless trash I normally would (if a video will take a few seconds to load, I'll just skip it if it's not really interesting).
Nitter is an ugly interface over Twitter that uses the twitter API to pull tweets and replies and likes and other shit. Twitter, for all its fault, at least isn't black and orange and is actually somewhat navigable.
For some reason, people around here think it's better, probably to "deny twitter ad revenue", but they fail to understand Twitter doesn't prevent ad block. So using Nitter is just forcing yourself to use an ugly Troon site that still pulls everything from Twitter, without any benefit.
You can't scroll down on nitter? The website you're talking about navigating is Twitter, it's like saying that satan has better functionality than a book about satan.
Nitter has the enormous advantage of, you know, actually allowing me to read tweets and their replies. Twitter itself will shit out a giant popup asking me to log in the moment I start scrolling down. So yeah, Nitter it is, even if it's slow.
The reason why OP used Nitter is because it pulls shit from the Twitter API but doesn't use Javascript to render a majority of the page.
When Nitter actually does load (I can't get it to load right now, massive keks) those of us who are on browsers that are not chrome based (anything based off of the Firefox browser) won't have to deal with the massive amounts of slowdown the JavaScript spam on Twitter uses.
Nitter is great if all you want to do is read tweets and not have to install a program to do it. I have an old machine from 13 years ago that I still play most modern games on - anything that heavily uses JavaScript (Fecesbook, Twitter, etc) lags the shit out of me when I use my Firefox-forked browser Pale Moon.
Nitter lets me navigate the site without making me want to Minecraft myself.

Javascript is not a naughty word. I like when my web client doesn't pull 500000 lines of HTML in one go if I don't feel like scrolling through all of it. Makes the browser more responsive.

Nah, the color scheme alone is a big turn off. The navigation is a big 2nd strike.
Look, you're allowed to like Nitter, I think it's a shit website.

I have a 1st generation iPad mini that by all accounts and purposes is far inferior to 13 year old PCs. Javascript doesn't lag shit.

Twitter doesn't auto play video on mobile so it's no issue for me.

For anyone reading, you can change the theme by clicking the gear icon in the upper right corner.
You can also click the twitter icon in the upper right corner to go directly to the tweet.
For fucks sake.

We had Javascript back in 1998.
No, we aren't giving your radfem friend the clicks.
Twitter gets the clicks, regardless if you use Nitter or Twitter directly, since Nitter pulls from Twitter.
For all you know, Nitter is owned and operated by radfems.
Twitter doesn't get the ad revenue, and I don't think it counts as an interaction for the user either.
