Twitter is banning Mastodon URLs as unsafe now? Even this modestly sized instance? This is UNHINGED behavior.

Definitely not normal behavior. You can circumvent it (for now) with url shorteners

or, hilariously, by capitalizing one letter of the URL since they fired all of the actual coders (haven't tried it myself)

Capitalization didn't work for me. I tried adding port 443 to the url and still no dice. They're going to Streisand harder and harder until the rabble stops rousing, I guess
