Yep. It's due to the embedded tweets. Any site that allows for tweet embeds has those. Unfortunately they're mostly an unavoidable fact-of-life because even just clicking on a twitter link will activate those same trackers. Only solution would be to never click on a twitter link or read a twitter-embedded post.
I just recently learned that you can add some code to the html that tells the browser not to tell linked sites where you came from when you click links.
Though you're better off just putting a plugin in your own browser that refuses to send referrers.
Yes. I expect it on the embedded pages (though it would be good if we worked around this) but on the main list page is not so good. I can avoid clicking on the embedded twitter links but you kinda have to use hot/new/rising/top.
I have an extension that does this automatically, but unfortunately nitter isn't capable of handling embedded tweets yet, so it makes looking at tweet posts more difficult. TDW forces you to click the post title, then click it again to go to a link.

It’s much better to set a Referrer-Policy header, as the browser will honor this.
But yeah, if it’s done through JavaScript and info is added to the URL, then there isn’t much you can do apart from using something like Neat URL.
Oh yeah, I remember years ago I read an article saying javascript can just straight up grab your browsing history somehow.
could just do a proxy... basically it'd save the screenshot or raw code of the tweet and render the image or raw HTML here.

if you dont want twitter (and google and facebook and reddit) to follow your around the internet, you can use umatrix firefox addon and block them.
