If you share a link from twitter to other platforms you used to see a preview... but not for a while now. Doesn't matter if it's Facebook or Lemmy, twitter.com replies with a 404 on links that work fine even without being logged in.

Are they incompetent or is this a strategy to limit incoming traffic? 🤣

This service really shouldn't have used "Twitter" in its domain name... Twitter/X would easily win a UDRP dispute if they decided to file one, since it contains their trademark.
