How does one use nitter? it's like a repository of twitter and more private?
Nitter is an alternative Twitter front-end. There are many instances of Nitter out there. nitter.it is one of them. Nitter.net is the "official" one, but it is used so heavily nitter.net can show that it has had too many requests.
So take any link for a Tweet and change from to Twitter.com to Nitter.it (or whatever Nitter instance you wish to access), and share that.
Then when the person you shared the link with opens that link, the Nitter instance goes to Twitter and pulls the Tweet and whatever else it needs from the Twitter thread (if it is a thread), and then renders it in a standalone web-page.
Nitter is open source, so anyone can run their own nitter instance.

Nitter is more lightweight and more private than Twitter.
Tip: Use https://github.com/libredirect/libredirect to automatically redirect any twitter.com link and automatically load balance across Nitter instances
