I wonder when alternatives to today's big sites will take serious root. It used to happen much more often.

#4It’s due to crypto scammers using it. From the founder’s post:
At some point in the past crypto scammers used JSFiddle to host pages with a wallet code and posted links to that on Twitter.
Due to the nature of JSFiddle, anyone can post anything, so wallet codes are ok – we did implemented a content filter to shadow-ban these.
I asked Twitter if they they could help out and ban twitter accounts that were posting scam tweets that included links to the rouge fiddles.
Twitter just went the easy route and blocked all jsfiddle.net links instead of blocking spammer accounts on their platform.
Tried to contact Twitter many many times, with no reply whatsoever. They most likely have no-explanation-needed-policy, which is why they never replied.
There's nothing that can be done here unless somebody has contact to a higher op at Twitter who has the decision power to help out here.

#5It troubles me that something as well known as JSFiddle can't get a response from Github. I understand they can't reply to every question from Johnny Developer but JSFiddle must have thousands of users.

So is Net Neutrality. Ensures that random sites (new sites) doesn't distract you.

#7Given the nature of the product, there is no way for the maintainers of Js fiddle to prevent it from being used to run arbitrary code, because that is what it's meant to do.
It's also impossible for both jsfiddle or twitter to scan the code of each fiddle and determine if it's legitimate or an attack, so this looks like a good measure from Twitter.
What is surprising is how this was even allowed so far and still is in many social networks, as its such an obvious way to deliver exploits.

They didn't get a response from Twitter. Github isn't really part of this.

Yeah it keeps users from getting smarter and blocks large part of web community from performing their day to day tasks. So 2 birds with one stone, eh?
Maybe these fat corporate aholes could sell the option as a paid tier and make it 3 :D
