Dude how do we know the legal request was valid? Or that there even was a legal request?

You're jumping the gun here. The primary concern is the absurd radio silence from Njalla. Not acceptable. Once they rectify that maybe there will be other problems revealed, but at the moment them being AWOL is the issue.

It’s the weekend, maybe give them a few days. Njalla is not going to destroy their reputation over Nitter. Likely they didn’t even know anyone cared about this service.

They're doing a decent job so far.

That's exactly my point: if the reason for suspending the domain was SO URGENT that it had to be done on a Saturday, then they can find time to explain their actions on the same day they took them.

Er, you do know that both Njalla and Nitter cater to the surveillance-disliking crowd, right? I would be shocked (shocked!) if there aren't multiple Njalla employees who use nitter instances daily.

Can't tell if trolling or...

What exactly is this supposed to mean?

Building your product on top of a domain that someone else owns (by design) is an inherently risky proposition. The only type of customer Njalla would attract in the first place are fringe privacy-conscious customers who begrudgingly accept this risk.

This is exactly the type of nightmare scenario their customers don't want to run into. If they don't treat these issues as a matter of urgency and don't support their customers as much as they're legally allowed to by fighting BS requests, they'll very quickly find themselves out of business. I suppose the irony of this is lost on you, "monero-xmr".
