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
