No, per https://sr.ht/~cloutier/bird.makeup/:

> Unlike BirdsiteLive, bird.makeup doesn't use official twitter api, but the undocumented frontend api, just like nitter.net, which doesn't have rate limiting.

If it's undocumented, how would someone know that it doesn't have rate limiting?

It probably does have rate limiting, just not a low enough limit to be noticeable.

nitter.net is rate limited and can't display twitter data the majority of times I use it. Other nitter instances are better. There's definitely rate limiting going on.
