Thats got to be the worst possible decision for Twitter to possibly make. What good is a social media platform that prohibits links to other platforms?

I use FB, Twitter, Insta, TikTok, LinkedIn, Discord, etc for a variety of purposes and find and share great content across platforms.

Come speech freely on Twitter! You can share any link from any platform in this list of platforms right here:

Elonjet is on FB, Insta, Mastodon, and Truth Social. I'm not surprised if this blanket ban was partially motivated by his obsession over the made-up doxxing accusations over ADS-B data.

Instagram prohibits links, period, not just to other platforms. This is where "link in bio" comes from.

They hate the web.

You can post URLs on your Insta posts, it's just not a clickable link. Twitter's policy is any text that describes other social media sites is banned, including trying to get around it by using "dot" ("instagram dot com/user" is banned on Twitter).

This isn't really the same as Insta.

To be fair - it looks like twitter is also banning links in bio here?

"Another thing is also bad!" does not justify the first thing being bad.

Most of the time you can't even view a public Instagram post without being logged into an Instagram account.
