Anyone know the specifics of how this works under the hood? I assumed the people over at Twitter/X would aggressively block systems like this from working. Are they doing something creative to get around that?
it's brave to look at other companies receiving cease and desist notices and treat it as a market opening

Well yeah the copyright violation is pretty clear cut here.
My understanding is that copyright of what's posted is retained by the poster. The Nitter C&D was around a ToS violation for scraping.
Is this referring to the new Twitter company that recently launched ( https://twitter.now )? If not, then this is just going to lead to confusion.
there is no chance that people would assume this is about a startup that's about to get nuked by copyright cease and desists
Prepping for another C&D I see. The only way something like this can survive is through Tor or similar, fully anonymous and decentralized.
I've been on Mastodon for a few years, and though it has less drama than Twitter/X, it does seem to have reached critical mass of users and does cover most of my needs for random gossip. I am surprised that that nobody has mentioned it here.
Are there any Instagram equivalents that don't suck? People love to virtue signal by linking to Twitter proxies, but Instagram is still a walled garden that all sorts of useful information (event details, restaurant menus, etc.) is locked inside. I occasionally have luck with whatever the top Google results are, but they're all encrusted with dodgy ads.

Depends if you want an alternate front-end and you can self-host, or you're looking for a third party. For the former, I generally look at what LibRedirect has as options: https://libredirect.manerakai.com/ Proxigram seems unmaintained, but kittygram seems to be actively developed: https://codeberg.org/irelephant/kittygram
I've never had an Instagram account, and I'm trying to keep it that way.

New account, 4 comments, one includes “Musk’s takeover of Twitter was a net win for free speech”
Oh, is this supposed to be a liberal echo-chamber? Are you mad other users have their own opinions?
How does this work, does it use the twitter api?
