As for this community to comply with the latest instance rule, Xitter (X/Twitter) links won’t be allowed. (This has been effective since 26-27th depending on your timezone.)
Link to the original post here
To summarize:
-
No X/Twitter links, shortened X/Twitter links or similar allowed. Screenshots from X/Twitter are still allowed but better avoided if possible.
-
Exception: in rare cases, https://xcancel.com/ versions of a link may be allowed, but this will be exclusive to some hard to fact check sources that DO require a link to an X/Twitter post.
No other frontend links or loopholes will be allowed.
Thank you for your time and understanding. Stay private!
Why xcancel specifically? It’s not the only remaining nitter instance.

There’s also nitter.poast.org but i’m not sure why shaytan made it xcancel specifically. @shaytan@lemmy.dbzer0.com what ar your thoughts on adding this instance too?
Not a personal preference
In the new instance rule, the only exception allowed has been xcancel
It’s outside of our control
I see. Well it doesn’t matter so long as it works.
