Funny thing: my Toot got crossposted to Twitter, so it seems to be a specific block for mastodon.social (and maybe other instances too?)

@jwildeboer Or that check is only done on the frontend and not server side?

hm... never had a problem.

Maybe your link is flagged because it is generic? Also the the algorithm may have been "trained" by dislikes on the platform to be sceptical about certain URLs and if it is the generic one you may fall beyond the threshold twitter has defined...

I also never just link to the instance itself but generally have a specific link to a profile or some such thing.

Care to try that as well?

@dirkprimbs @ainmosni Sure. A link to a specific toot on mastodon.social works. A link to the site itself is considered harmful.

That kinda hardens my suspicion.
This is not Twitter bitching against Mastodon, it is the algorithm misjudging the likelihood of a problematic link.

I'd simply link specifically then, e.g. with mastodon.social/about

@dirkprimbs @ainmosni No. Twitter needs to fix their broken algorithm :)

Definitely.
I was just trying to give a bit of perspective. Knowing what a dance it can be to design filters in software it is fairly common to have accidental false positives without malintent. But I'm not here to defend twitter per se :-)
