Since Twitter is suppressing the visibility of tweets that link outside their site I think it would be perfectly fair to block links to twitter, rewrite them to nitter, etc. There also ought to be gentle pressure on people who post to Twitter to move to some other site. I mean, even I've got a Bluesky invite now.

bluesky seems like the site for people who think that the problem with twitter was that the wrong billionaire gets to decide which ideas to suppress

(admittedly you could make the same criticism of hn; it certainly isn't decentralized and resilient against administrative censorship like usenet was)

Well I didn't mean to just endorse Bluesky but call it out as one of many alternatives.

I'm actually active on Mastodon but I am thinking about getting on Instagram as well because the content I post that does the best on Mastodon would fit in there.

it won't surprise you to learn that i like mastodon but haven't used it in months
Do you know about Pixelfed?
Yep. I interact w/ Pixelfed users on Mastodon all the time,
Please don't make dang do more work.
