I thought Nitter died. Is there any revival project?

There’s also xcancel.com, which has the benefit that you only have to insert “cancel” into the existing x.com URL.

  What makes this work where Nitter doesn’t (from what I heard)?

    Less users because it's not well-known. You can't do this at scale.

Tangent but is Nitter still around? I thought they had shut down the project because Xitter was locking them out. I used to rewrite search results to point to nitter and it was rather nice. Edit: looks like some instances are still alive and I assume coasting under the radar, but the original nitter project is still dead.

  Nitter.net is defunct, but the software is open source and alternative instances exist.

    Ahh, yes I used to self host it but turned it off when they stopped development. When I saw the parent comment I was briefly hoping someone had picked it back up or forked it.
    - ThrowawayTestr 2y ago
      Why would you stop hosting just because development stopped? Did it stop working?
      - gh02t 2y ago
        When I read the announcement I misunderstood it to mean that it was going to stop working in general, and that was right around the time I was migrating my selfhosted stuff to a new server and doing some cleanup. So I didn't bother migrating it over.

  I think twitter rate-limits everyone. For example, I don't think that the nitter instance up there will survive the requests of HN-ers.

    As long as they're just reading the cached thread, it should be fine.
