Speculation That Twitter Disabled Posting, Retweeting Of Substack Links Spreads
on the heels of substack announcing its development of 'notes', a twitter-like feed, some users can't really engage with or post substack urls (including us)

Note to subscribers: Happy Friday. This morning, we haven’t been able to reliably share Pirate Wires links on Twitter. When we tried to share this story, for example, we got an error message: "Some actions on this Tweet have been disabled by Twitter." This seems to be the case for some or many Substack links, Twitter-wide — more on that below — though it’s tough to understand the scope of it right now. And after several attempts over the course of a half hour, we were able to tweet this story.
But we’re not taking anything for granted.
Because we respect your inbox, we try to be selective about the stories we send out over email. We’ve been using Twitter to distribute all our content, which includes reporting on tech, AI, and the clown world. And though our instinct here is that this retweet/ posting situation is temporary, we wanted to let you guys know that the best way to currently get all our content is by directly checking piratewires.com.
