Ours does the exact same. Sometimes they even put an obfuscated link to a tweet that was very quickly deleted, so you just get an error and there’s no info unless you both log in and go searching their twitter for whatever tweet they may actually still have that has info. It’s pretty ridiculous.
It amazes me how much effort people will go to in order to experience the shitshow that TwitXter is.
Just avoid entirely.
The sooner it dies the better society will be

Weird, I’ve survived without it for 8 years.

Sounds like a misuse of the amber alert system
They only do that because there is an audience there.
If we demand they use better methods of notifying the ublic, that draw for viewers/readers won’t be there either.
