How to bypass Twitter in 2023?

I avoid Twitter at any cost but sometimes I'd like to read a single tweet or check a certain account. In the past I used fritter on Android or nitter.net in the browser.

Both do not work for me anymore.

Is there a good way to access twitter without - you know - actually using twitter?

Try https://bird.makeup/

It (somehow) acts as a bridge between Twitter and ActuvityPub. No idea how it works, but it does seem to work.

Hm, it throws an error for me when looking for a specific twitter handle.

I’m currently getting that too. Hopefully it’s a temporary glitch.
