It's just a read-only Twitter mirror.



It "just" makes Twitter readable to the Internet at large.


Also, you can host your own private nitter instance and follow accounts using rss.

"At large" is a strong term given the average person (even the average Twitter reader) doesn't know what it is ;)


I think you misunderstood. Twitter is almost unusable without an account, and the website is very slow. Nitter makes it usable for the majority of us with no twitter accounts, and/or relatively slow devices.


Well, time to make xitter.net then.


Or nix.net


I'd join that.
