 Twitter sucks.  The UI sucks, and you have to log in to read half the shit.  So RSS is a way to keep up with artists and accounts that are for some reason still on twitter, without having to log in and see all the other shit.
-Tried **Rss.app.**  Sign in required, paywalled.  But it works if you want to pay for that lmao.
+I tried rss.app.  Sign in required, paywalled.  But it works if you want to pay for that lmao.  I think most apps that generate twitter RSS are paywalled cuz the Twitter API is so expensive or whatever.
 **Nitter:**  Nitter is software is a way to access Twitter without logging into twitter.  It will also generate a clean RSS feed.  There is a main Nitter instance, but it doesn't generate RSS for whatever reason.

+  * You can still click on the subject header to be taken to the tweet.
+  * BUT!!!  Sometimes these Nitter instances are down for whatever reason.  You'll have to check [[https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/wiki/Instances|the uptime to see which ones are working]].
+  * AND!!  Nitter instances often have aggressive anti-bot/anti-scraper measures, and that will occasionally fuck up links or images.'
+  * Still, better than being on Twitter!

+===== The end =====
+That's it for now!  I wrote this inbetween trying to install Linux, and it's still just my first day using Thunderbird/Betterbird.  But it's definitely helped clean my mind out.
