throttling tweets that contain links is one more small way that twitter is hostile to journals & FOAMed. any platform that discourages links is self-serving (lookin at you instagram).
Elon Musk effectively admits that posts with links are throttled. If you've been wondering why your posts with links to journalistic articles haven't been getting nearly the engagement you would expect, this is why. I have less and less reason to be here.

I tried #Bluesky about a year ago and it just didn't quite replicate the #MedTwitter we all knew and loved. Logged back on last night and found a revitalized #MedTwitter community on #Bluesky. Going to give it another try, come join! @nickmmark @PulmCrit @laxswamy
