was it ever?
Nope, but this is musk hate...not common sense.
You can replace X/Twitter with any platform that has users posting links and it doesn't change. Discord? Steam? Sms? Signal? Facebook? Forums? Reddit?
Your mom?
there's a difference if the platform in question replaces every link with their own tracking link lengthener which only later redirects where it should. at least twitter and yt does this, preventing you from seeing real destination. some places don't
So... basically every platform and anyone who is has 1/2 a brain cell to rub together and hide a link?
