Ah, I didn't realize that. Just tested, https://x.com/OSGeo/status/1805885195712626743 works, but https://x.com/OSGeo/ starts loading, then redirects (!) to the login page.

Agreed, screw them, we shouldn't be posting there. I feel the same about LinkedIn, but at least there you get a modal that you can dismiss.
