You don't have to share Twitter links. There's a better way.

I think we all agree that Twitter is a cesspool, and Jack Dorsey is a traitor. So, let's stop sending them revenue, traffic, and our personal information. There's a better way.

If they're conservative, are they on gab? If so, go there.
If they're not on gab, use Nitter. It is a mirror of Twitter, so everything is there.

Nitter is a free and open source alternative Twitter front-end focused on privacy. The source is available on GitHub at https://github.com/zedeus/nitter

No JavaScript or ads
All requests go through the backend, client never talks to Twitter
Prevents Twitter from tracking your IP or JavaScript fingerprint
Uses Twitter's unofficial API (no rate limits or developer account required)
Lightweight (for @nim_lang, 60KB vs 784KB from twitter.com)

Or at the least, people can substitute the words twitter.com for nitter.net in the URL. The rest of the url stays the same.
