Twitter is now saying they officially will block links to competitor websites, including Mastodon instances, Instagram, Facebook, and others.

However, links to Vkontakte, Telegram, Truth Social, Parler, and TikTok all worked as of this writing.

@davetroy I’m interested in how they’re planning on enforcing this policy after cutting most of their staff. Using automation would essentially remove a massive amount of users, many of whom either don’t use Twitter that often or would rather leave than deal with this nonsense, and I don’t think they have enough staff remaining to deal with this manually.
