You know, I always feel a little guilty when the @nitter bot "corrects" my x.com links. But a problem is, if I use an xcancel link (like I did just below here) it doesn't get rendered. So I have to use a x.com link to get it to render, but then I always get the little Newman comment at the bottom of my posts.

xcancel + screenshot might be the move. hmm we can probably automate a screenshot.

but you can't click a screenshot a screenshot isn't necessarily a link

also screenshots take a lot longer than posting a link (mostly because I clean my images and crop them to exclude parts of the image that aren't relevant)

I'm out of the loop but why do we need nitter and what's wrong with just linking to x?
Feels a little too much like reddit activism...

Ahh makes sense. Seems like strange behavior from their end, making it difficult for people to engage with their content. Getting immediately pushed into creating an account always pisses me off, I feel like it drives away potential users.
