Do you have a screenshot by chance? They’re telling me they’re not doing that and I haven’t been able to reproduce it. I think they’re A/B testing and lying about it and I’d love to be able to prove it.
OK, mystery solved; the Inkl folks found the problem:
Mastodon strips out the information they need to not show the paywall in its media preview. So if you click the media preview, it doesn’t work. If you click the original link, it does.
