Now all #twitter t.co links are blocked by twitter login. All #links we ever shared via twitter can not be followed anymore without signing in to twitter, no matter where in the #WWW they point to. Twitter put a gate in front of our links by "shortening" them and now they locked the gate. We never should have given them such power. #gatedcommunities #fediverse #web

Someone should scrape all t.co links and build.up a database with the original links, or we will lose all of it eventually. Even the archives twitter gave us only contain those broken t.co links

t.co/xDhrGl9NmU works for me in incognito mode. so are they gated?

And the @internetarchive 's Wayback Machine has a large collection of archived t.co redirects.

Digital archives are humanity’s collective memory. Who should control them, and how, is a major problem for digital societies.

@brewsterkahle @internetarchive true it works. I only did test 2 or 3, perhaps I was wrong or something changed. Nevertheless we should not rely on it

@internetarchive did the Wayback Machine have the ones you did not find? prepend web.archive.org/ to the URL.
