Stop linking to Twitter; it is intentionally broken without creating an account and signing into it, even just to see a tweet, now.

• No thread context: Link to a tweet in a thread, and visitors cannot read the other tweets in the same thread, including the immediate parent in the thread. So context is entirely broken

• No replies: If you link to a tweet, visitors cannot see any replies to said tweet

• Aggressive prompts to create an account when trying to find more context/clicking anything

Instead, if you have to link to something that happened on Twitter for some reason, I recommend:

• Reproduce the content locally! If embedding on a blog, just… quote the text inline. Style it up nicely if you want, but the content is more important than the tracking-laden embed code that could break at any time

• Nitter.net; replace twitter.com with nitter.net in links; it works like an archive version that includes important context

Only include a Twitter link as proof/a primary source imho
