Alt ForumsTwitter/X shutting down alternative front-ends with C&Ds
On August 24, 2026, maintainer of Nitter project (and some related instances) received a C&D from X Corp., making the main developer to close the main instance and archiving the GitHub repo, as well as other related services like TwitterWebView.com, closing today on August 28.
Sad to see this happen. I refuse to make an account (which also requires now using their mobile app) to that awful and shitty platform just to see a single post or the profile of someone (and the main reason why most people like me have been using Nitter as visiting X as guest is now impossible). This is why people should also (cross)post their content on other sites or “open” platforms like Mastodon instead of that fucking boring walled garden.
Anyway, the few Nitter instances I've seen that are still active at this moment are these:
Hope the evil X doesn’t come after them.
And yeah I know you can also self-host Nitter but it would be a PITA to find a working fork and IIRC it now requires using an existent Twitter account for being used as “crawler”.
