For those of us not on X, is there some context, ie. the Tweet he's replying to?

To access any tweet without being on X, replace x.com with xcancel.com

Thanks, I've put that in the toptext.

If we did that automatically, would the resulting links all be readable?

It's always worked for me manually (straight domain replace, rest of the URL untouched), so I believe so. I'd certainly find it handy if it were offered automatically in the top text. :)

Thanx. I tried to use several of these services (because I don't use Twitter/X myself so got context from a Dutch website) but didn't get it to work (was very probably just me). Xcancel is indeed a much better experience.

xcancel.com seems to work at least as well as any other still-maintained nitter instance. Here's a list:

Also, I'm curious: why do x posts get displayed as Twitter?

Probably at some point we'll relent.
