The landed gentry are only in charge until the king comes to town and chops off a few heads.

How does nitter work? Does it scrap the data, or use an API?

Edits, comments, etc can take a bit to shuffle through
No worries though, thank you for the clarification
Does nitter still work after the change with the forced login?
Is it still working today? Can’t seem to find anything. Not that it matters much to me, I only went for vgdunkey’s tweets for the most part.
