X Crop has sent a cease-and-desist letter to Nitter, the open-source project behind XCancel. The project has now suspended the service while it looks into its legal options.

    X Corp has absolutely zero authority to force anything. Only courts can and as we’ve seen in USA they’re pretty meaningless too.

    The longer you obey the more power you give them. Power they haven’t earned.

    Ignore X Corp lawyers. They’re all overpaid losers who could never cut it. Most of them can’t read above a sixth grade level. Sue me if I’m wrong.

      Every time I bang an X Corp lawyer’s wife she gives me a cookie.

      Why do you think Ozempic prices are through the roof?!?

      That’s really easy to say when you aren’t facing legal action.

    XCancel? How they cancel something nobody has heard of?

    I think got to my 6th superflous X before I noped out of that article.

    HOpefully nitter learns from this and doesn’t try to copy the branding of the worlds uncoolest person.

      I use these services as a newsfeed. I already have accounts and RSS feeds set up everywhere. It’s just a matter of waiting for the people I follow to fully make the switch.

          😅 I just hate checking individual pages with their own algorithms. Give me one Inbox in Thunderbird with everyone’s messages.

    Twitter trying to stop abusive viewing posts without logging in.

    I hate that everything demands you login and prevents you from viewing anything unless you do.
