To me KF isn't "social media", it's a "Web 1.0" style forum. Sites like FB and Twitter are "social media" to me.
Twitter itself, of course, is doing perfectly fine despite having loads of CP and shitty moderation. Rules are only for the plebes.A Nitter instance has shut down.

What is this:
After almost 3 years, the PussTheCat.org Nitter instance has been shut down permanently.
Why:
On February 9, 2023 a UK non-profit (The Internet Watch Foundation / IWF) discovered some CP being hosted on Twitter (and viewable via our Nitter instance). Note: It wasn't "discovered" per se, it was reported to them by someone.
The UK non-profit AUTOMATICALLY contacted contacted our registry (PIR / .org), our registry then contacted our registrar.
The UK non-profit AUTOMATICALLY contacted the German Federal Criminal Police Office who then contacted our server provider (Netcup), the discovery was made at 10:30, our server was suspended at 14:30, it seems like the Police just passed the information and didn't actually do any investigation themselves.
From the look of it: AT NO POINT WAS A HUMAN INVESTIGATING THE REPORT.
Our server provider, Netcup, instantly suspended the server (for obvious reason, they didn't want the content to be viewable from one of their IP).
Our registrar, Gandi, hasn't done anything, and after receiving our explanation seems to have understood the issue.
Our registry, PIR, gave us 96 days to remove the content, which mean the domain should be fine.
The rare copyright takedown requests were a problem, but were easy to solve, but here it went too far.
The stress and effort spent on Nitter (a service I personally barely use) simply isn't worth it.
The Nitter instance has therefore been shutdown permanently.PussTheCat.org
PussTheCat.org provides access to open source services that are focused on privacy and video games servers.pussthecat.org
The crazy thing is that Nitter does not host any material, it's simply a Twitter front-end to display Twitter. A dumb Bongland company has got nitter.pussthecat.org's servers suspended at the drop of a hat without a human bothering to investigate.Twitter itself, of course, is doing perfectly fine despite having loads of CP and shitty moderation. Rules are only for the plebes.
Maybe it's what they meant with "viewable"?
You might enjoy trying Debian stable, or Ubuntu if you're less adventurous. It's fashionable to shit on Ubuntu these days but it's still a pretty decent entry point for folks who want something that "just works".
Does it actually mirror them (and store them)? Or just proxy them? If so it isn't actually storing anything 'objectionable' permanently.
I don't know nitter's caching policy.
It would be just as illegal for Twitter. The subhuman faggots at the IWF didn't even try to report the image to the nitter service operator. They should all be killed.
I bet having "Puss" in the domain name didn't help matters.
The domain.
You could theoretically report illegal content hosted on Twitter using every Nitter instance possible, and shut down all the Nitter instances.
It's not unreasonable to think that US military industrial contractor Elon Musk would do just that.
Are you suggesting that I shouldn't host my Onlyfans mirror site at cun.nyc?
Reminds me of this classic. It's shitty workaround patches all the way down.
