Probably the best use case for onion routing and IPFS. Each X URL gets a content addressable IPFS URL, served via an onion site that should be hard to take down.
Browser->Tor Onion site->IPFS as storage system pull through cache->X
Or just a .onion for the frontend server + another server at some clearnet domain proxying it to the normies (until taken down and replaced with the new one) would probably work fine. The hidden server can even terminate TLS with a valid cert for the clearnet domain.
The .onion could host the code forge too, but Tangled (ATproto) would be poetic justice.
Nitter itself is still fine, there are like 2 public-ish instances I‘m aware of but I think people should go out and host some in more private communities/run one over Tor or something
This was obviously going to happen once Nitter got an immediate C&D.
It just means that it will happen to these alternatives as well and the lawyers have all the money from X Corp to do just that.
These open source projects circumventing X for free, unfortunately have zero chance in fighting these legal takedowns.
Hoping we'll see more resilient development/hosting emerge

Seemed worth a new post, now that they actually killed it today :(
Is there any frontend still standing?
