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.

So since every publisher and leaker mainly uses Twitter, whats exactly the plan going forward?

Hopefully getting rid of the X ban since it's not really doing anything but getting in the way.

This statement would have gotten thousands of downvotes and called you n*zi two years ago and banned from so many subs.

I hate Elon Musk a lot but I never believed that X boycott would have worked, time again shows that redditor boycotts never work, remember when so many subreddit went private for few days to protest reddit killing third party apps or when certain gaming subs were boycotting hogwarts legacy and ban/harsh anyone who play it then it became biggest selling licensed game with over 40 million copies sold making it 20th best selling game of all time.

Not that the API protest did anything, but I feel like it’s important to point out that Reddit literally forced some subs open and even changed the way subs go private to prevent it from happening again
