Today Marks the End of an Era

Thanks for the recommendation. I just tried it out.

Nitter + an RSS app like Vienna is a neat solution for replacing Twitterrific on desktop.

The UX isn't as good, particularly with quote tweets just showing up as links instead of embedded in context.

Also I had to write a quick browser hack so if I open a tweet from the RSS reader to Nitter it will make it so there is a link to the original Tweet from Nitter so I can actually interact with the tweet (like, reply, etc).

But it works, it lets me see things chronologically, and it tracks which are read and unread. Thanks!

Feedbro shows the tweet quoted as well. It's also the best RSS reader I've found.

Have you run into problems with nitter.net rate-limiting you? I added about 60 subscriptions and they frequently don't load. I suspect I'm probably overusing the service...

Edit: looks like this could be a good solution: https://twiiit.com

I also use this add-on that redirects you to a random Nitter instance:

You might need to manually remove the ones that don't work. It's still better than using the Twitter website :)

For sure. This setup is hacky as hell but it works well, so I'm sticking with it. :)
