While I do agree that this is bad, I'm a little confused—what does this have to do with dead internet theory? Doesn't that relate to users being bots?

I'm sure a lot of forks will pop up right around this time. I'll be less skeptical of them once I see actual commits made to the codebase instead of things like just changing the readme
I hate to be that guy, but it doesn't seem like there's anything to this fork. At least a few links in the README don't work, and the domain for the "email" is actively for sale. The owner of the repository doesn't seem to have any real previous projects on their GitHub account.
I can understand that it's a new fork, but in my mind you'd want to at least make sure the Readme is... passable before you spread the word and make a Patreon for the project.
EDIT: The Patreon link has been removed since I made this comment. I'm still incredibly skeptical of the project though
The brief explanation is that Nitter worked by creating "guest accounts", which were a leftover from when you used to be able to use the Twitter mobile app without an account. After creation, these accounts lasted for a month. The time since the ability to create these accounts was removed is nearing (has reached?) a month
This guy goes by the name Skweezy Jibbs, and he's actually a comedian! Look him up if you don't know him, he's done some pretty funny stuff. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/people/skweezy-jibbs
~~Lsen -> "Listen [,]"~~
OlsenFish -> "I'll send fish"
Edit: No, it's just the OlsenFish. The "Lsen" I thought I saw at the top was part of "Olsen", my vision failed me again >_<
I think what was meant here is that it won't run apps designed for the Oculus Quest lineup (which is based on Android), not the actual Facebook application
I assume the console / game store pays for the bandwidth, not them. No skin off their back
I believe the name is using Unicode Regional Indicators for something other than their intended purpose. Not sure of the specifics though
StreetComplete is Android only, but last I heard Go Map!! for iOS was trying to add a similar "quest" functionality to that found in SC.
It's not exactly the same, but I can vouch for StreetComplete being an incredibly good/similar game. You walk around the real world, and the app points out missing data in OpenStreetMap that you can fill in easily. You get the dopamine of a number going up, help dethrone proprietary map dominamce, and get some good excercise in in the process.
Good to know! I suppose it makes sense for the smaller registries to be a little shadier.
