Why are journalists still on that platform? READ THE ROOM! Bluesky, Threads, etc exist....

Somebody has to stick around and see what's going on! Also, I have seen such hateful discord on BlueSky (immediately) I'm not sure anywhere online is "safe" because the floodgates have been opened.

good old base64 encoding will stop this :) 100 rounds :)

hehe, precisely! Just a few hours after hearing about this I made a little tool to make this easier:

https://link-in-a-box.vercel.app

(FYI it's private, the source code is not minified and the GH repo is included in the page)

PS with a bit of gzip + base64 you can turn xitter into a mini CDN - I'm hosting some games and the Epic of Gilgamesh in tweets via their advertising query params.

Oh good. I just downloaded it and will send it to all the dissidents who don’t yet have. Oppositional. Defiant. Disorder??? Nah…

would it work if the link was obfuscated by using a link shortener service like bit.ly?

We may find a workaround, but the important question to be asked is why this censorship from the "custodian of free speech"?

I sketched a little tool for that earlier this week + some alternative instructions:

The nice thing is that it doesn't require shorteners/tracking, so it's private and nothing leaves your computer unless you copy paste the link.
