You don't even have to be using Tor to get blocked like this; I get rate limited fairly regularly just following Twitter links on my phone while on mobile data. I suspect it's because my carrier is doing CGNAT and I share an IP with several other users.

Makes it annoying when someone links to Twitter as usually I'll have to sit there refreshing a few times before I can actually see it.

I have no proof but I always assumed they do this to push phone users towards downloading the app.

I run into issues like this running the app on my mobile.
