Does anyone have an idea how we can restrict or redirect twitter links? Most of us that don't use Twitter can't view the content anymore to all the restrictions they have put in place.

If you have a known Twitter link, put vx in front of twitter.com and it should pull the content for you.

For example: https://vxtwitter.com/YonhapNews/status/1675672243362467840?s=20

Dang, it was worth a shot. Seems like it's been kinda intermittent lately.

ETA: fx in place of vx is another option, but it's also sporadic.
