1/2 I have deactivated my account on Twitter (X), which began in 2007. Under Elon Musk, Twitter has not only decided to stop blocking bigots and liars and pro-insurrectionists, it has actively welcomed them, with apparent support from Mr. Musk.
@Gargron@nnscott@waltmossberg It happened to me multiple times when someone add a link to another post on another instance inside his own post (as a workaround to quote someone else toot). when you click the link (or the preview) you are sent to the original poster website that can be another instance. There you get the banner if you want to interact with him. I have to admit I was a bit surprised by that at the begining.
@Gargron@nnscott@waltmossberg That’s not exactly right. If a user posts a link to a mastodon post and you click the link, you end up on the website (just like if they’d posted a link to a non-Mastodon website). This is true even if the link is to a post from your own server. It’s really confusing to people. You won’t notice same-site links if you use the web client, but in the iOS app, it’s super annoying. The app should recognise Masto links and use app nav.
