I would like to make a request from my fellow GLPers concerning Twitter posts.
When you post a link that goes back to a Twitter post that has a link to an article that is being cited, please just post the direct link to the article rather than the twitter post itself.

Twitter is getting way too much click traffic from GLP and we should mitigate that where possible.

That is all. Thank you.

That would be most excellent!
When I open Twitter on my older IPad, the page locks and I have to shut the pad down to go back to GLP.

But using just an article link you can't see it without going into it. With the twitter link you can see it on the GLP page without looking anything up. I find a lot of people can't be bothered to look up an article, they like to see it straight away.

Re: I would like to make a request from my fellow GLPers concerning Twitter posts.
I find the fact that 85 % of threads these days are just a title with a twitter link pretty frustrating.I hate twitter- it may link to credible (?) sources but it is an OPINION platform.

But wholly, I also agree- Id like to see the original links if possible.

embed if at all.

Really Twatter is part of the problem- we should be boycotting it - not creating profiles and or linking the hell out of it.

Its almost like Twitter found out about GLP and is invading it with their agents who are posting content guaranteed to get us to click on it.

Yes, we should not be supporting them. And some of the content is just plain fake news.
