For those of us not on X, is there some context, ie. the Tweet he's replying to?

- ankurdhama 7mo agoTo access any tweet without being on X, replace x.com with xcancel.com
- troad 7mo agoTo save folks the typing: https://xcancel.com/shanselman/status/2035110958314745891 https://xcancel.com/shanselman/status/2035110958314745891
- dang 7mo agoThanks, I've put that in the toptext. If we did that automatically, would the resulting links all be readable?
- foresto 7mo agoxcancel.com seems to work at least as well as any other still-maintained nitter instance. Here's a list: https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/wiki/Instances https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/wiki/Instances
- troad 7mo agoIt's always worked for me manually (straight domain replace, rest of the URL untouched), so I believe so. I'd certainly find it handy if it were offered automatically in the top text. :)
- teekert 7mo agoThanx. I tried to use several of these services (because I don't use Twitter/X myself so got context from a Dutch website) but didn't get it to work (was very probably just me). Xcancel is indeed a much better experience.
- qup 7mo agoAlso, I'm curious: why do x posts get displayed as Twitter?
