Allows accessing Twitter content via Nitter interface.
A lot of interesting people are still on Twitter and haven’t yet moved to Mastodon, and xcancel.com is probably the only private way to view content posted on Twitter.
Frontends
There is also https://nitter.poast.org I’m using it for rss feed.
How is this still working after all other Nitter frontends got 86’d?
the only way for it to work is if the back end is using a real user account apparently. the few instances that remain are using this method.
The concern I have the reliability and long term viability. Let’s say you use RSS and subscribe to the accounts you want and then it’s suddenly not usable… this makes it absolutely difficult to clean out your RSS and ensure it only has working feeds.
Fully open to being corrected here, but doesn’t driving a whole bunch of new people to it make it more likely that Twitter will notice and shut them down as well?
Guest view on twitter is limited to non existent, all these frontends need to rotate normal accounts with the normal view limits.
In other words when it gets popular will be a pain to maintain plus services like these today work next week don’t.
