   We have received cease and desist letters. Awaiting legal advice at the moment, but for now expect all nitter instances to remain down for the foreseeable future.

   You've gotta be kidding me. Unfortunately everyone still uses the Nazi app so this is actually a big problem.

    Ideally Twitter would shut down entirely so that people would be forced to move to platforms not owned by the Muskrat. This is the only way I can see Twitter actually losing its dominance at this point.

    I wonder if a recent clampdown on anonymous (no account) browsing and numerous recent reports of "confirm you're a human" to those using Linux, Firefox and other privacy preserving tech which requires mandatory doxing ID verification is related to this clampdown on privacy by X?

    Might be related to X requiring everyone to be human and ID verified to view X which has spurred this cease and desist. And what is worse, many companies do their customer service contacts and service updates exclusively via X so if anonymous people are locked out of viewing, they're effectively stuffed in the event of an incident.

    Hopefully privacy and tech channels online will pick up on this story (I'd advise everyone to contact them) and make it go viral.

    I've already contacted Ars Technica about this. Hopefully they actually see it.

    @swyxio [thing].miningtcup.me. I use my own residential IP address, I don't believe that X has much IP rate-limiting. (I may get rate-limited after posting this here, beware.)
    Something which hasn't been mentioned here: XCancel (and other public instances) also received a cease and desist, but I don't believe XCancel is in the U.S., so it might be more resilient.

    For posterity, the nitter.net website now says:

    UPDATE Sep 7th

    On 24 August 2026 cease and desist letters were sent by X Corp. demanding a permanent takedown of Nitter instances and the project's repository.

    Following legal advice, the Nitter project will continue. This instance and others will be back up and running shortly. An announcement will be made within a week, once we're able to reveal more information.
