Cease and desist

On 24 August 2026 cease and desist letters have been sent by X Corp. demanding a permanent takedown of Nitter instances and the project's repository.

nitter.net is offline and development has stopped for the time being. I'm seeking legal advice and won't be commenting further on the specifics for now.

Thank you to everyone who used, hosted, packaged, donated and contributed to Nitter over the past seven years.

practical benefits

There’s only one: aggregation. Nazi Aggregation.
Decentralized aggression is an unsolved problem. So the yard sold network effect themselves to centralized means of aggregation.

Otherwise decentralized networks would have taken off, if we couldn't sillytalk to politicians & capitalists. Politicians made twitter infamous, not Noah Glass.
