Re:XCancel also down, at least for time being on Wednesday August 26, 2026 @05:48AM (#49446308)
I am already on fediverse. My friends are too. It's where I post my dumb opinions on movies and pictures of my cats. But that is not what I used nitter for. I used nitter to pull posts of organizations and reporters to deliver breaking news in my area to me fast. I did this via the RSS endpoint in nitter. These journalists and organizations only post on twitter that fast. Their websites are updated much slower and often also don't have RSS feeds or APIs for me to scrape. I wish these orgs post on fedi too but they don't. So what am I to do? Nitter was for us people that have already left X.

Why not? "+" is valid in email addresses.

They probably don't use laptops, since laptops can easily be taken off site.
