- Sources: Nitter commit, HN discussion
- Summary: Commit 1428b4c to the Nitter repository updates the README under the heading that Nitter lives. Its diff adds a single line stating that following legal advice the project will continue and that more details will be announced soon, plus funding links. It does not state that service is restored, and it does not describe the project's status before the commit.
- Why it matters: Nitter is the practical read path to content posted only on X, including for feed tooling and archiving, and it was expected to stay dark after the August takedown demand from X Corp.
- Follow-up: The promised details, whether public instances actually serve requests again, and whether X Corp escalates beyond the cease and desist.
