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? 🤣
I’ll take your word for it, I was certain at one time it resolved to itself, but maybe that was a short experiment or I’m just not remembering correctly.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
Just out of curiosity, what happens when you switch it to x.com?
edit: I guess it doesn’t matter because it looks like they decided to start forwarding x.com links to the twitter.com version now. That’s new.
Facebook has this to say
Rebrand is going great.
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.

Could be, I don’t click on Twitter/X links often so I could have easily missed that.
Same here, I haven’t tried it in a while so I’m basing off old memories at best.
