Have some very 2014 humanized tumblr/twitter slash fanart that you'll totally see on the next Rec Center anyway
Did you know there's a Fandom Wiki proxy that lets you browse a much more readable version of the site without all the annoying videos and ads (much like nitter does with twitter)? It's called Breezewiki and there's instructions on how to set it up so that you're automatically redirected when opening Fandom links.
I found out about this on cohost, which I signed up for but still can't post on because I'm in no-posting jail (and expect to stay there for a bit, it seems to be overtaken by twitter expats like everything else). EDIT: as pointed out in the comments, there's been some concerns about the site's ToS and their overall management, so give it a try at your own risk.
Speaking of, fandom.ink is also quite busy and so applications have been disabled, but existing users (that's-a me) can still invite you if you'd like an account
EDIT: forgot I also wanted to share this cool photoset code. De-tumblr'd tumblr photosets for everybody!

TIL free twitter rss feeds are still a thing (sort of)

Hello friends, did you know you can still get Twitter RSS feeds for free by using Nitter? Which is a cool open-source Twitter front-end that you can use to browse the evil bird site without being tracked, you can even run your own instance if you’re a nerd. If the people you need to follow are less than 23 you can build the url like nitter(.)net/user1,user2,user3 and get a single feed (or a bunch of feeds that are groups of 23, I guess). You can’t have any kind of Nitter account, it’s just an alternative way to read the website in the unfortunate case you still have a bunch of cool Twitter people you’d like not to lose track of, not a Twitter alternative (look into Mastodon instances for that). There’s even some neat browser extensions that will automatically turn all your Twitter urls into Nitter ones (usually together with similar sites for other privacy-destroying websites like Reddit and Instagram). Enjoy.
