The Nitter project, a popular privacy-friendly Twitter front-end, has received cease and desist letters, forcing all public instances offline. The maintainer, zedeus, confirmed the news on GitHub, stating that instances will remain down pending legal advice. Users report widespread rate-limiting errors, and the community expresses frustration and concern over the loss of the service.
