If you share a link from twitter to other platforms you used to see a preview… but not for a while now. Doesn’t matter if it’s Facebook or Lemmy, twitter.com replies with a 404 on links that work fine even without being logged in.

Are they incompetent or is this a strategy to limit incoming traffic? 🤣

    it looks like they decided to start forwarding x.com links to the twitter.com version now. That’s new.

    That was always the behavior for me from the start. I click on an x.com link, it brings me to twitter.com. Never was any different.

        but maybe that was a short experiment

        Could be, I don’t click on Twitter/X links often so I could have easily missed that.
