Link is to a Nitter instance. Even though I prefer to use it as well, it should probably be pointed to the original Twitter instead? For deduplication purposes

Link is to a Nitter instance. Even though I prefer to use it as well, it should probably be pointed to the original Twitter instead? For deduplication purposes if nothing else.
- jacooper 4y agoTypo warning!
- pavon 4y agoTo second this, many of the nitter instances and other twitter flattening sites are blocked by corporate security scanning proxies. For those in that situation, note that you can replace the domain name with twitter.com to get the original URL.
- jrochkind1 4y agoSide issue, but why do corporate security scanning proxies block nitter?
- zinekeller 4y agoI'm not personally aware of filters targeting Nitter instances significantly, but I'm aware of whitelisting only the top 10 million sites (blocking "undesired" things of course) and manually asking IT if you are visiting a low-traffic site. This stops a lot of phishing attacks but at the same time only allowing ~9.5 million sites is still too small.
- dang 4y agoYes. Changed now from https://nitter.1d4.us/awesomekling/status/1589711499672502274#m https://nitter.1d4.us/awesomekling/status/158971149967250227....
