Naughty @Rsync25 posting a link containing a tracker tag on SN!

Lol. In the next time post link for me. It’s like X works. It’s not my fault bro

The @nitter bot already posted it for you, and it is your fault bro :)

The bot always fixed me. Now today only you seen this. I won't waste my time arguing this with you.

What is this banter / argument about?

Can someone explain or post a link? What are tracker tags? What is the policy in question? Is there any faq about this?

What is the drama about twitter vs xcancel / nitter / whatever that is?

The link in the original post is this:

In order to reach the content, you only need this part:

This part that follows the ? is the "tracker tag":

The tracker tag isn't required to reach the content, it harvests your data by clustering users who clicked on a particular tracked link.

tl;dr, it's terrible for privacy, and you should always remove the tracker tag before sharing any URL.
