“All core systems are now at X.com”, so why opening x.com
links in private window redirects to https://twitter.com/x/migrate?tok=
, then again to x.com
? I just cannot describe how stupid this is.
As others have noticed, it drops an error: “Firefox’s Enhanced Tracking Protection (Strict Mode) is known to cause issues on x.com”. The link has ?mx=2
parameter. I removed it and the page loaded correctly (but half of the viewport was clumped with banners). I tried again in a new private window, but never saw this error again, so this is a bug due to the aforementioned redirect.
I think it’s not a good idea to leave links to Piped instead of YouTube (same for Nitter/Twitter, Libreddit/Reddit, etc.). If you want to avoid YouTube, then just install LibRedirect extension or similar. Piped links are temporary, they’ll break sooner or later, making it difficult for people to get to the website.
