You can't retweet anything with a substack URL in it, see this HN thread for more info: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35482222

You can't reply to, or retweet, or like, or bookmark any tweet that has a Substack link in it because Musk wants Twitter's newsletter thingy to take off instead.

paulg@ is claiming that Twitter no longer allows you to like or retweet any tweets that link to Substack, like this one:

https://twitter.com/paulg/status/1644344779507916805

(note that this tweet indeed has zero of both, unlikely virtually everything else paulg has ever posted)

And I'm not even seeing the tweet in the OP's link, I had to dig it up from paulg's Twitter feed.

I tried to like and retweet Paul's tweet which included a link to Substack and indeed I can confirm I cannot like or retweet it. It says "Some actions on this Tweet have been disabled by Twitter."

Good grief .. I went to that tweet and clicked the substack link to reach the essentially text only article.

Twitter inserted a giant scary WARNING!! page with a tiny continue (if you're really sure you can handle the risk) link
