alt Hacker News> You've gotta be kidding me. Unfortunately everyone still uses the Nazi app so this is actually a big problem.
If the commenter truly believes it’s a Nazi app, why are they the slightest bit upset to lose access to any version of it?
It’s astonishingly easy to not use toxic social media platforms.

I do not use Twitter but some people who do interesting things somehow still do and only post about them there. It's all so tiring.
I would not say astonishingly as most people are full-on addicted to these platform and addictions are hard to kick, but definitely doable (9 years for me)
When fighting Nazis, it's quite valuable to be able to hear what they're saying and know where they're going.
You answered your own question.

If your local town government for example only posts city updates to twitter, your options are to make a twitter account, use something like nitter, or miss out on updates.
my guess is many people use nitter to do automatic scraping of Twitter for various projects, i.e. they can't believe they "have" to do it because so many people still use Twitter.
You can want to read something someone else has posted without giving your data to the owner of Twitter.

I can't even read specific public transport updates in my city because they only post those to Twitter, only vague messages on their own website.
