I've added rudimentary support for lives on xitter. if I can dial it in we should be able to support spaces soon which will be great for some of you insufferable politik niggas. Xitter spaces will still warn you that the card type is not supported (they're treated completely differently), you should be able to view live (video) streams without issue hopefully later today

the only one I can find to test right now is some bollywood tier news shit and it returns all the proper shit but the stream doesn't start due to 403's despite the caching being done by unique genuine xitter accounts, I don't know yet.

the broadcast cards are supported, videos are now fully proxied (this is going to cost us a fortune)

tomorrow I hope I can get this fully functional and then we can maybe embed them here on poast without issue

I will say by maybe june you will require a login to use the Poast nitter. so if you click a link in the wild, it will send you to a poast login screen in order to access it. Poast users pay for the nitter. Poast users paid for the hundreds of accounts required to operate it, it should be a Poast user service and it will be. I had meant to make it that way back even in 2024 but we were the only functional nitter instance for over a year. Now that we aren't, we can protect our service, for our users.

The cost of operating the nitter is several thousand dollars yearly on its own. If we limit it to Poast users that becomes several hundred. If it's just poast, we can proxy video directly over Poast and it's CDN at no additional cost, making it almost entirely anonymous to view nitter links as a poast user. We can embed easier, we can implement nitter search in the poast search as well. There's so much that can be done when we aren't catering to brazilians and half of the middle east
