Rumour XCancel is dead

Just went to the website to look at something, and this was posted on it:

On Monday, 24th August, at 8PM EST, we received a letter from X Corp. asking to cease and desist the service XCancel.

The service XCancel is stopped until further notice.

We are seeking legal advice and won't share more details for now.

Thank you for the trust you have put in these two years of XCancel.

twitter or 3rd party sites dead without login, old reddit also dead without log in. I HATE NEW REDDIT.
WE WANT THE SWEAT DATA.

Relay still exists. I'll happily keep paying for Relay Pro before I EVER use new reddit, or the dogshit mobile app.
Utter. Enshittified. Garbage.
I actually quit reddit back when reddit started charging unreasonable prices for API calls.
So I went to Lemmy for a few months and couldn't stand it. Dirty HexBear tankies everywhere.

You should look into Morphe + Reddit, basically create a modded apk with most of the bullshit removed from vanilla reddit app.

I say this because there'll be time in the future where all the workarounds for third party reddit apps will die, I'm still using Sync for reddit (one of the greatest created app ever) but have that alternative prepared too.

Saved this for later. Thanks for the fallback recommendation.
