I don’t have a twitter account, and many don’t. Twitter is slow, nitter is fast. Twitter has never reliably displayed threads for me. Nitter does.

Twitter is slow

It’s faster than it’s ever been, and seemingly without 85% of its staff. Says a lot

And yet nitter is still faster with only 47 contributors total. Says more.

... because it is essentially a caching proxy to twitter?

So is twitter.com. Unless they aren't using a CDN lol

I think the advertiser boycott is a major contributor. Advertisements are slow...

X's reduced user base might make X faster than ever.

Some data for me:

Nitter: I get all 8 posts in the thread in 18 requests, 207 kB, 169 kB transferred.

X: I only get the first post, 128 requests, 11.45 MB, 2.11 MB transferred.

No, no it is not.

Twitter requires JS to work though.
