It's not even just about the salute. Using Twitter links, especially in the sports subreddits, has been a pain point for years and years. Unless you have an account, you can't see what was said. If you do have an account, you can't see the original tweet in response. When highlights are posted, the video player is trash. There is always a karma race to post the info first. Updated information has to become a new thread because you can't edit the old tweet. Deleted tweets lead to dead threads. The experience has been shitty for years, this is just the last push it took to try to break out. ESPN has started making it's analysts info and breaking stories available on their platform through some kind of system on ESPN? I got notifications about it on Tuesday. So the functionality isn't really being lost; information is still coming out as normal, it just isn't from a shitty platform (completely separate from current events).
