I have 2ms ping to YouTube and my network is wired 1gbit so it was odd to get so many buffering issues. So i did a search and this solution immediately solved the buffering issue! Prefer IPv4 or disable IPv6 and it’s buttery smooth

      Just an fyi, any still functioning nitter instance won’t work much longer. Even the one you posted is already rate limited.

          Not sure. Just going off the announcement yesterday saying the method nitter used to show Twitter posts has been shut down by the site.

          I assume any existing alternative was using similar workaround, so I’d guess any new alternative would have to find another, undiscovered method, which doesn’t seem likely.

      You’re 100% correct but people keep spreading this nonsense…

        What did Mark Twain say? “A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes” – or something like that (would be ironic if he didn’t even say that haha).

        Also, this experience has made me realize that there are still a lot of people with Lemmy accounts using Adblock+ or even Adblock! I wouldn’t have expected it.
