When you post things on Instagram, Facebook, and X, this is what they look like to people who don’t use those platforms.
@aral At least for Twitter, this is not true. Yeah, the page exhorts you to create an account - but it *does* show the post. At least on desktop; maybe it's different on mobile.
@bontchev I guess my screenshot tool was lying.
@aral Your screenshot is from mobile, mine is from desktop. That's why I supposed that the two may be offering different kinds of access.
@bontchev Yep. And it’s possible they have heuristics for when they show the doorslam and when they don’t.
