You are still required to provide a source for famous people and politicians. Here are the options that I know of that are left.

Please, if you know of any others, provide them in the comments. The next couple of months are going to be hell if we don't do this.

Nitter and xcancel in one day.

You just know these corporate stooges had several meetings about this, talked it over, planned for today.

It should be the final nail in the coffin for xitter for people, but it won't be. They'll just use the app.

    Yup, sad. I was thinking about this "flow" the other day. Every (corporate) decision - even the bad ones - begins with a thought, a brainstorm, a formal meeting, and then the bureaucratic nuts, bolts and strings.

    Maybe some upper level management came across a mention of xcancel, and realized it's cutting off their profit stream (doesn't matter by how little), and it pissed them off, starting the command flow;

    or maybe they have a dedicated team to ensure they can farm the most resources/data out of the user base without alternatives, like implementing the ~"X might not work with Advanced Privacy settings on Firefox. Disable it for a better experience" which I'd get all the time if I ever had to visit the main X website. Maybe that's the same team who spearheaded this new move.

    Sucks. X has enough money. But for all this about "free speech", and posting porn, and all is free on X, they sure aren't going that way.
