I just happened to open the repo and saw this. By now I have my own instance running too at https://stopusingx.com/, forked in https://git.prisma.moe/aichan/nitter. I will have to either sync my repo to the original or switch back to it entirely ;)

    Is your instance a publicly usable instance or are you just showing the domain? I don't have any interest in running my own but wouldn't mind having access to one

    It's great they are keeping it going, for those people who need access to Twitter.

    I haven't so much as looked at that steaming puddle of Xcrement in the last decade+, but I might just give Nitter a whirl, just because. 😋
