Love that you mentioned Libredirect! I don’t like how maps redirects to OpenStreetMap though, why not just redirect to Duck Maps, which uses Apple Maps.

Turn off redirection for maps, then

I’d pester them to add the OpenStreetMaps fork as well. Go ahead and write them, I will forget. I just use a weird app to redirect links because I only use maps on my phone anyways

I was under the impression that it was dead, or maybe there was a time where all the nitter frontends died for a while and I turned it off or something. Welp, gonna try reactivating it.

Lol, it wasn’t hard to find twitter addicted programmers to maintain it. Now that Anubis is being used to block crawling, the instances are far healthier

xcancel is just one Nitter instance (just like lemmy.ml is one Lemmy instance). I recommend sharing the load around to other working instances, or better yet, as Avatar of Vengeance mentioned, use the LibRedirect browser extension which automates this for a huge range of other websites.

Do you know if there’s an instance with working RSS that also shows inages from the tweets in the RSS? I couldn’t find any for months.

X is unusable without an account, It always nags you to make one no matter what.

far_university1990@reddthat.com on 01 Jul 06:11 next collapse

X never need account. Can run as root just fine.

Please make an effort to avoid X.

If you’re looking for someone’s or an organization’s feed, look for alternatives such as:

I don’t use it. But sometimes you may find a need to read or search for something that is only on there.
