Ask HN: Can we ban Twitter links, please?

• nitter

  950 9,644 5.3 Nim

  Alternative Twitter front-end

If you don't want to login to twitter, then install the Redirector addon: https://einaregilsson.com/redirector/

Then set a redirect from twitter links to https://nitter.net or https://threadreaderapp.com/

• privacy-redirect

  78 1,922 0.0 JavaScript

  A simple web extension that redirects Twitter, YouTube, Instagram & Google Maps requests to privacy friendly alternatives.

I used to have the same misgivings with Twitter threads being linked, but after discovering Privacy Redirect¹ (and Privacy Redirect for Safari²)—which automatically redirects Twitter links to a alternative Twitter frontend (like Nitter)—Twitter threads are much nicer to read.
