How to bypass Twitter in 2023? (self.technology)

I avoid Twitter at any cost but sometimes I'd like to read a single tweet or check a certain account. In the past I used fritter on Android or nitter.net in the browser.

Both do not work for me anymore.

Is there a good way to access twitter without - you know - actually using twitter?

Unfortunately, no. Since the bird site started charging exorbitant amounts for access to its API, many of the smaller apps that used to work with it don't work anymore. You're honestly best staying off of twitter altogether. Don't give the Musk anything to monetize you.
