Stancil has always been a fraud, a wordcel history grad LARPing as a data expert. This comeuppance is richly deserved.

“Instance has been rate limited” on all Nitter links. Is it just me?

Not just you. IDK what it means or how to stop it but it's happened before and seems to come and go. Sorry, I might have to stop using Nitter if this keeps happening. Try again in an hour or two.

Nitter.net no more? Nitter.poast.org maybe?

Any idea if this one going to have the same issues where it intermittently says "rate limited" like Nitter did?

It appears that nitter is dead, if you check the original GitHub... After this last set of rate limiting the security license expired. I've been having good luck with a different instance "nitter.freedit.eu", but have no insight into how stable these other instances are or the future of the project.

Yeah I've got a note in tomorrow's poast draft basically saying that we are moving back to direct Twitter links because even Nitter's various instances are too unreliable. Bummer.

I am going to become the joker.

John Carter's piece is great! Thanks for (free) NRP. You should poast NPR, Dudley.
