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.
xcancel.com has proven an reliable frontend for X (Twitter). It is based on the now-dead Nitter.
We should add it, we can just reuse the Nitter template but just replace with xcancel.com
I’m all for this. As far as I know, this is the only working Nitter instance left. It uses rotating proxies to access X and POW captchas for visitors of the site.
That’s not true, there are some other instances that work too.
I guess the problem with this is it’s nitter and nitter was discontinued, so would need their source code I suppose. If they’re just using EOL software then I do t think we’re going to be recommending it.
Only a potential issue for those hosting it, for the user it doesn’t matter.
Active development is a general criteria across all of PrivacyGuides. I doubt xcancel is worth making an exception.
Please read up on the criteria. 
xcancel actually uses a fork of nitter. The link to the repo in the about section is wrong but you can click on the instance info link instead to get the link to the current repo.
Are you sure ? I know nitter.poast.org, and they said a few months ago it ended, so they are most likely just maintaining for Archive purposes.
Sorry but that’s just false. xcancel has continued development, the repo is here https://github.com/unixfox/nitter-fork

Edit: I didn’t see @x1t.
Nitterpoast is still working fine. Where did you hear this?
I think I read it somewhere a few months ago. We could also recommend it, but where is it’s source code?
