Ha, that page isn't loading for me, but Nitter is: https://nitter.net/TwitterSupport/status/1632792942262747136

Maybe fetching through the API is working better?

Nitter doesn't use the official API, which seems to be what's broken, instead it talks directly to the undocumented APIs that Twitters normal web interface is built on.

I assume they do it that way to get around all the rate limiting and threat of having access revoked that the official API comes with.
