  I hate the amount of lazy journalism that embedded tweets have spawned, I will find articles that say “people are saying” something and the proof is three random tweets with about 6 likes between them.

  but that’s what exactly embeds do. forcing you to interact with the site

    Maybe I wasn’t clear in my comment. I think it’s fine if they quote what somebody tweeted. I don’t think it’s fine to have Twitter embeds in articles.

    Come to think of it, I should write a uBlock origin custom rule

      I see. wouldn’t the default disabled social blocking lists block that too?

      another way is to have libredirect redirect the embeds to nitter. some instances still work
