Maybe time to end it? Twitter is no longer a well behaved service, and its only going to get worse.

Bummer, Zedeus just got Nitter fixed up like 2 weeks ago. Seems they keep turning off apis.

Xitter is pronounced as outhouse, right?

That is how I've been saying it.

I think usually where X is used as the initial latter the pronunciation is more like zh or zj than sh, but close enough.

Yeah, I refrain from posting on Sh/X-itter as much as possible. The combination of Threads + Mastodon is pretty decent.

X hasn't been well-behaved as long as Nitter has existed, it's crappiness is arguably the raison d'etre for Nitter.
