Why would someone downvote this question. If you care about the difference, you shouldn’t downvote someone that’s wanting to learn…
As for the question: Nitter is a proxy service that lets people view content without giving Twitter anything, and avoiding any tracking, analytics, etc. Also some networks have blocked Twitter outright, and so they won’t see your content unless it is proxied.
I’ve seen that behavior everywhere, unfortunately. Back in the Reddit days I’d ask a question and get downvoted to oblivion for not knowing something that’s apparently well-known or for not being able to recognize famous people because of face blindness
Since voting history is visible here, I’ve considered tagging the users to call them out directly. I haven’t done that yet, because it might cause more toxicity than it would fix.
I’ve had people tag me specifically for that, it’s one of the most insane moves. I get what you mean and you’re exactly correct on why you don’t do it.
Calling downvoters out for their barely influential opinion is the pettiest thing Ive heard in some time. Sure, downvoting sincere questions is stupid, but backtracking someone and openly calling them out for it is on a whole nother level.
Anything like this for use on mobile? I have never had a need to open Twitter on anything other than my phone from friends sending stupid things or for sports updates (which I just get delayed now lol fuck Twitter)

…What is the difference?
Not using Twitter directly

Similar tech exists for other sites too.
