Twitter disables likes or comments on Substack?

Welp, "copy from China" has begun, shadowbanning out link to competitor sites has been standard tactics in China SNS circle(QQ/WeChat/Weibo/Xiaohongshu/Tiktok).

I think it's due for U.S. tech company to learn a thing or two from the dark pattern in China.

This is just your run of the mill antitrust/anticompetitive behavior of a struggling firm. If you can’t compete, build a moat.

I saw the announcement yesterday for 'Substack Notes', which is clearly inspired by Twitter, and thought to myself that these companies are going to clash sometime in the future. Pretty outrageous reaction, lol.

Wow, sure enough: "Some actions on this Tweet have been disabled by Twitter."

Good luck with that approach, Twitter..

How does that improve the experience of using Twitter?

The grateful userbase is spared from being exposed to websites which Dear Leader has deemed unworthy, one assumes.

Nah, really, the answer is "what does the experience of using Twitter have to do with anything"?

Good thing Substack is making their own Twitter... lol

[honkler]

because substack is bringing out "Notes" – something that serves the same purpose as Twitter.

PS: @Dang, this post should be much higher on the front page.

Why "should" it be? Do you think there's some sort of downvote brigading going on suppressing it?
