I posted this question to the Nitter Matrix room but figured I'd post it here too: Do we know how Nitter use impacts user and view counts within the Twitter system itself? Like do all these ghost accounts inflate the DAU/MAU and does an instance reading a tweet increase the view count metrics according to Twitter? I use Nitter because I want to view some accounts that didn’t leave Twitter without contributing view counts but if those are still increasing by reading accounts via Nitter I’ll probably end up only using even that only sparingly. I hate the idea of contributing to the Musk machine even in infinitesimal ways.  #nitter #twitter #DeleteTwitter #ElonMusk 

 @Hank G ☑️ 

How are you still accessing #Nitter?
Everything I try is blocked. 

 @Hank G ☑️ Maybe try https://bird.makeup/ (which mirrors posts from Twitter users to Mastodon)
