Twitter is suppressing posts containing links to substack as well as at least one text post by substack itself explaining what’s going on.

The suppression takes the form of likes and retweets being disabled and presumably reach limited.

To add my personal opinion, it’s deeply pathetic.




This is in response to substack launching a potential Twitter competitor.

They’ve done the same off and on to Mastodon, though after a while they backed off on that one a bit.

Free speech!
