How can Twittex slow down external links? Someone explain?
I’m not sure but I saw something about t.co , which sounds like an URL shortener. I think I read that they added a 5 secs delay for some sites.
That explains it.
X shortlinks are embedded in posts, and have a sleep timer before they redirect.
More or less, anyway.
