Ask HN: What are you using to access x.com at the moment?
Since nitter and xcancel is taken down for now, what are you using to read things from x.com without account?
- mikewarot 20d agoI use Chrome and adblock plus to access Twitter. I use ut for Facebook, and pretty much everything. I avoid "apps" like the spy infested plague they are.

- iamflimflam1 22d agoI would assume that if you were using nitter or xcancel it’s because you did not want to support X. You should be aware that linking to X content (whatever mechanism you use) supports it and encourages people the carry on posting there. Just stop consuming content from X.
- throwaw12 22d agoyou are right, but we also can't control other people who are posting there, lots of AI/ML news happen there because where else can you post them? I don't think instagram, snapchat or facebook is good forum for such news / one-off thoughts.
- Jeremy1026 21d agoNothing. Same as what I've been using to access it for the last ~5 years.
- segmondy 21d agonothing, if it's that important it will bubble up on another part of the internet.
- Gooblebrai 21d agoThis. If something is important enough, it will reach you through other media.
- runjake 21d agoI have an X account, so a web browser with uBlock Origin and visiting x.com. You can probably still self-host a Nitter instance, at the risk of a C&D? https://github.com/sekai-soft/guide-nitter-self-hosting https://github.com/sekai-soft/guide-nitter-self-hosting
