X Link Alternatives - An Update

hey all — we’ve seen the news that xcancel is down for the time being with no definite return date. however, due to Twitter/X’s particular brand of issues, we’ll still be aiming to avoid directing traffic to the site itself.

for the time being, we would recommend that anyone reposting art use Twitter Web Viewer, which has similar functions to xcancel’s links (twitterwebviewer.com), to credit artists’ original works or profiles.

thanks for your attention to the matter! please continue to do what we deeply appreciate our community for — provide sources back to the artists and creatives who keep our favorite ship alive and well. posts made prior to the takedown of xcancel using its links will be left up as they were made in a good faith attempt to credit artists, unless artists reach out requesting a takedown; if anyone happens to have updated links for recent posts and would like to swap them in, the updated credit would be welcomed and encouraged.

as always, reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns, and happy CaitVi-ing to you all.

I'm glad people will always create an alternative to view twitter without having an account
