"403 Forbidden" while posting from Mastodon to Twitter

[Utopiah]

Unfortunately while trying to append the source Mastodon URL, e.g https://mastodon.pirateparty.be/@utopiah/109535657181487476 , posting fails with

    {

                code: 429,     

because of a site-wide decision to block all mastodon instances.

Consequently it might be good (sigh) to avoid whenever possible pointing back (at least temporarily) to Mastodon URLs otherwise nothing gets posted.

To be honest I'm not sure what the logic is because ironically enough my previous test worked https://twitter.com/utopiah/status/1604511405193007111 despite actually including a Mastodon link (your profile) https://mastodon.pirateparty.be/@utopiah/109535556229407085 whereas this Toot didn't.

FWIW that's a rather active topic at the moment https://twitter.com/TwitterSupport/status/1604531268493795329 so not sure what the "right" thing to do is.

It seems like Twitter is allowing links to Mastodon servers now again. So maybe we don't need to do anything? I will leave this open for a bit, let me know if you still see your posts with links being blocked.
