    Stop using Twitter. Stop talking about Twitter. Stop publishing articles about Twitter. Stop keeping Twitter relevant.

      Unfortunately, twitter was basically “the journalist’s social media” so they keep writing about it even if most of their readers don’t give a rat’s tail

    Mr Free Speech Absolutist

    Except when it is about me

    Except when it is from a competitor

    Except when I don’t like it

    Use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/twitter-link-deobfuscator/ to remove the t.co links and link directly to the outgoing site and you can avoid it.

    (You should be using it anyway for privacy sake so Twitter can’t track your link clicks)

      Why not?

      I don’t use Twitter, but I think it’s good to know. Being able to test it yourself is valuable, too.

      I wonder how many other link shorteners do this?

      They sure do, doesn’t mean their shitty practices shouldn’t be exposed so their users reconsider whether they want to use it or not.

        Anyone still using Twitter is too stupid to understand what’s going on.
