Is there any frontend still standing?
- zImPatrick 1mo agoNitter itself is still fine, there are like 2 public-ish instances I‘m aware of but I think people should go out and host some in more private communities/run one over Tor or something
- dredmorbius 1mo agoI don't know what your definition of "fine" is, but Nitter and XCancel received C&Ds three days ago: <https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/issues/1442 https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/issues/1442> HN: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49437283 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49437283> From HN's PoV, the issue is that there aren't well-known workarounds which can be used for X.com / Twitter.com submissions. HN's principle concern is more that any discussion on such posts will largely revolve around the regwall / paywall, which doesn't advance HN's own prime directive: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27901918 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27901918>
- zImPatrick 26d agoI thought about it from functioning perspective, but yeah, legally it might‘ve been a bit dubious
- dredmorbius 1mo agoChrisArchitect is pretty good at distinguishing between when a discussion is a dupe and when it is related. Their comment history makes this clear.
