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.

I don't understand being so emotionally attached to a personality to virtue signal about everything they're connected to. I'm no fan of the guy itself for many reasons, but it's just a service like any other, you either use it or you don't.

EST, huh? Where is this poster located that they are in an Eastern Standard Time zone?

The US east coast?

No, the East Coast observes EDT until November

Many humans write EST in the summer.

I also only use the S variant in human conversation in my time zone.

I assure you that I human and never, ever, write EDT in a conversation. My phone even tries to autocorrect it to EST

Especially rich coming from X Corp, with their xAI-Bot web scrapers.

A real shame. Even if you put all the political arguments aside it sucks when a site requires you to log in before you can read content on it. For me that’ll mean I just don’t read content on there any more. These days I don’t think it’ll be much of a loss.
