Basicallly the only vialable nitter altnerative I'm aware of at the moment, biggest downsides being you need a twitter account and you can only access it through android, but it does offer the abillity to see your feed in an rss style, aka no recommendations, which is very useful if you only need to follow a few remaining twitter accounts and don't want to wade through a sea of Elon's spicy memes in between the accounts you actually follow.

Twitter needs a ton of data to work. That's the problem. And now you've given them an account to link all that data to.

And with the extent they've gone to kill Nitter, seems likely they'll do the same with this. No issue is too small to control their users.
