       Now all #twitter t.co links are blocked by twitter login. All #links we ever shared via twitter can not be followed anymore without signing in to twitter, no matter where in the #WWW they point to. Twitter put a gate in front of our links by "shortening" them and now they locked the gate. We never should have given them such power. #gatedcommunities #fediverse #web

       Someone should scrape all t.co links and build.up a database with the original links, or we will lose all of it eventually. Even the archives twitter gave us only contain those broken t.co links

       @angelo I had a coworker in marketing circa 2008 advocate for URL shorteners in a company wide email.IMHO, Marketing departments should be prohibited from sending things company wide, that should be reserved for IT.Regardless, I replied, in gentle #bantown fashion.Then the office did break out in sounds of rickrolls (as people clicked on the URL shortened link I provided illustrating why one should be wary of using such things) and laughter ensued. Some people came to me at my desk and told me they were thankful.Alas, too few learned that lesson, apparently.

       Who gives a fuck about Twitter? Let him build his wall. It's his loss.

       Spaceboy is pulling back the reach of his product, making its scope smaller for the influencers on it and giving them less reason to use it. This is his business strategy?

       He thinks it will incentivize people to join. Sometimes the easiest way to beat someone is just to ignore them. People who think you have to take the fight to Twitter not only miss the point, they actually act in contravention of it.

       @angelo https://t.co/xDhrGl9NmU works for me in incognito mode.   so are they gated?And the @internetarchive 's Wayback Machine has a large collection of archived t.co redirects.

       @brewsterkahle @internetarchive true it works. I only did test 2 or 3, perhaps I was wrong or something changed. Nevertheless we should not rely on it

       @angelo @internetarchive did the Wayback Machine have the ones you did not find?   prepend web.archive.org/ to the URL.

       Ok, false alert, sorry! After double checking actually most t.co links are working and also the #twitter archive contains a field "expanded_url" with the full URL! So the situation is much better than I initially thought. Thanks for double checking and making me aware @mittelwertsatz @jonny @brewsterkahle et al.It is still a big risk, that twitter has the power to wall in those #links #gatedcommunities #fediverse #web
