Privacy hack: if you want to share a link to a Twitter thread elsewhere and you don’t want people to be tracked by Twitter, Inc., replace twitter.com with nitter.net

e.g., https://nitter.net/carolecadwalla/status/1509612965011804162

Been seeing a flurry of articles about not blaming the wrong things for traffic fatalities. Pedestrians and cyclists not being submissive enough to cars, the drivers themselves not driving well enough, even COVID gets some misplaced blame.

But we all know what it comes down to. Design, backed up by a prevailing attitude that Car Go Fast is the ONLY important thing, and the only person who needs protecting is the driver. Here's an article that came up on my feed:

Talking to some friends about how, if you really wanted an "authentic" 8-bit retro arcade experience, you'd pay 25 cents a game and come home stinking of cigarette smoke.

You don't need to use link shorteners on Mastodon. All links count as 23 characters no matter how long they really are.

Also, links on Mastodon stay in the form you wrote them. This is much better for privacy than Twitter.

Twitter quietly changes all posted links to go via Twitter's domain t.co so they can track people. This doesn't happen on Mastodon or the Fediverse.

You can see this hidden conversion in Twitter by hovering your mouse over a link there, the link appears to show a normal address but Firefox and other browsers will indicate the true t.co address in the bottom left corner of the screen. If you try this same check on Mastodon or the Fediverse, you will see your links stay just as you wrote them.
