They are not banning links to other platforms:

"We recognize that certain social media platforms provide alternative experiences to Twitter, and allow users to post content to Twitter from these platforms.

In general, any type of cross-posting to our platform is not in violation of this policy, even from the prohibited sites listed above."

Yes they are and they explicitly say as much:

> we will remove any free promotion of prohibited 3rd-party social media platforms, such as linking out (i.e. using URLs) to any of the below platforms on Twitter

Your quote is referring to cross-posting from other sites to Twitter, not linking.

Still, the way this is drafted I don't interpret it as banning every single type of links but rather promotion of your profile of your content on another platform. It's not as explicit to me as you suggest.

I guess we shall see soon enough.

Given that pg's Twitter profile's just been banned for indirectly referencing his Mastodon profile link on his own website, your assertions lack any credibility or plausibility whatsoever.

Why are you aggressive?

This does not mean anything wrt my hypothesis.

You guys take this way too seriously.
