Screenshot of Twitter’s Help Center page on Promotion of Alternative Social Platforms Policy: December 2022 Twitter is where the public conversation is happening … Twitter will no longer allow free promotion of specific social media platforms on Twitter. What is a violation of this policy? At both the Tweet level and the account level, 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, or providing your handle without a URL: Prohibited platforms: Facebook, Instagram, Mastodon, Truth Social, Tribel, Post and Nostr 3rd-party social media link aggregators such as linktr.ee, lnk.bio Examples: “follow me @username on Instagram” “username@mastodon.social” “check out my profile on Facebook - facebook.com/username” Accounts that are used for the main purpose of promoting content on another social platform may be suspended. Additionally, any attempts to bypass restrictions on external links to the above prohibited social media platforms through technical or non-technical means (e.g. URL cloaking, plaintext obfuscation) is in violation of this policy. This includes, but is not limited to, spelling out “dot” for social media platforms that use “.” in the names to avoid URL creation, or sharing screenshots of your handle on a prohibited social media platform. Example: “instagram dot com/username”
