We do have to be strict about this, as this rule comes from the instance and we must comply with that.
Still, avoiding traditional social media in general is a thing I support, so for me this rule is great. And I believe it also aligns with the view of a community who cares about privacy, as X/Twitter does like users data a lot.

Hooray for boycotting fascist platforms
Great stuff.
The more places that ice out that chucklefuck service the better.
Why xcancel specifically? It's not the only remaining nitter instance.
There's also nitter.poast.org but i'm not sure why shaytan made it xcancel specifically. @[email protected] what ar your thoughts on adding this instance too?
Not a personal preference
In the new instance rule, the only exception allowed has been xcancel
It's outside of our control
I see. Well it doesn't matter so long as it works.
