They are actively making even access to individual tweets very cumbersome to people without logins. I guess maybe compared to something like facebook where you are completely blocked without login it's ok, but "almost inaccessible" is only a small step ahead of "completely inaccessible" - that's hardly championing anything, let alone "decentralization" which Twitter is actively hostile to.

It's easy enough to self-host. You could always route it through a VPN/Tor/I2P if you care about anonymity.

That’s not what i meant, I meant nitter is only going to work for as long as twitter doesnt start actively putting resources to prevent nitter from scraping
