Off topic. Scrolled a little bit past the thread and almost got caught up in Twitter’s hate bait algorithm. Sexual imagery and I didn’t ask for. This is why I need to remember never to follow links to Twitter, no matter what, ever.

One of the hazards of browsing HN: old darlings like Twitter will be tolerated even after they become NSFW by default.

There is an open-source browser extension called Privacy Redirect which will turn all Twitter links you click into Nitter links [0].

This also turns Reddit links into Libreddit/Teddit links, YouTube links into Invidious links, etc.

Basically you get to browse an Internet without intrusive pre-roll ads or outrage algorithms. I think based on your comment that this might be of interest to you.
