Description:

Twitter URLs, when visited directly, are formatted like -

https://twitter.com/HugeNintendoDS/status/1386171485417623552

When clicking on Share button > Copy link to Tweet, an additional source tag is appended -

https://twitter.com/HugeNintendoDS/status/1386171485417623552?s=20

This tag introduces a pestersome More Tweets section that replaces replies with algorithmically-suggested tweets."

Suggested implementation:

Introduce off-by-default link cleaning for Twitter links that redirects tag-appended URLs to their tagless counterparts.

If possible, stop Twitter from inserting a source tag when Copy[ing] link to Tweet.

Of note:

  • The number following s= varies by client.
  • I'd contribute the PR myself, but I'm bad at regex 😢
