From looking at their posts they were able to get enough performance to start caching popular tweets, that doesn’t sound that expensive to me. Might get into hosting that soon but putting this out there in the hopes someone else does, I’m happy with my secluded option.
Still, having you all using something being routed thru people who poison results with Israel tweets for teh lulz seems like bad for everyone no?
Does Nitter still work for you? Because several instances officially closed when “Twitter blocked the last known way to access their network without a user account” (quoted from nitter.cz).
