Twitter now prohibits links to other social networks

Uncategorized 1 Minute

Here’s a quick one for my friends still on Twitter. There is a new policy against promotion of alternative social platforms . If you have not moved to Mastodon yet, do it now. It will be much easier to use tools to make the move now, while many in your Twitter social graph are still reachable. Also: get a blog or personal web site under your own domain ASAP and link it from your Twitter profile.
