For what it’s worth, you will find me more active on Mastodon at code4lib.social/web/@dltj than here. The automated tools will continue to repost content.
Godspeed, Twitter.
This is likely the last tweet you will see from me. I attempted to post a link to a story from @TheMarkup ("Tax Filing Websites Have Been Sending Users’ Financial Information to Facebook") and Twitter is rejecting it.
ALT Screenshot of the Twitter web interface highlighting a portion of the page that says a tweet cannot be posted "because this link has been identified by Twitter or our partners as being potentially harmful." The draft tweet contains a link to a story by The Markup about personal information being leaked to Meta through tax filing websites.
I can't tell if the problem is with The Markup link itself or the link to the @hypothes_is annotation tool's "via" service. Either way, I'm done with Twitter and have now disabled the crossposting function.
