A company known for scraping and stealing copyrighted material is butthurt that someone else is scraping their content. “Do as we say not as we do.”
Would be horrible if loads of people made independent clones/mirrors of that repo while it’s up again
Could you also imagine how terrible it would be if people started also hosting a bunch more nitter instances now it’s up? Think of the shareholders!
Oh shit, real talk.
[Edit, for clarity,] But without open source search engines, most are at the mercy of the oligarchy.
“my nitter instance broke containment and started scraping Twitter…”
LMAO, yes! I feel like I should start throwing different bot farm projects at the wall and see what “sticks” enough to get me rich … Except I don’t have a clue how to start
Firefox reader mode counts as scraping too. Should Firefox block that feature?
