Yeah, it’s connected to Nitter.
I had a number of bookmarked X accounts I would check in on via xcancel. I’ll keep them for now but I assume they’re done for.
I have zero desire to ever crate an X account. Keep closing doors, Elon, and watch usage drop even more than it already has.

What's the point of such a service? It sounds like performative nonsense.
You need an account to access X. Change the URL to xcancel and you can view these accounts.
It also looks like X requires a Google or Apple account to sign up if you don’t use your phone number. I’m not linking any of that to the X cesspool.
You are referring to X/Twitter right?
