The t.co shortened URLs are back—sometimes:

In the first tweet (original) the t.co link appears, followed by the unobfuscated link. As you can see in the original tweet, only one link was in the tweet. Curiously, the unobfuscated link includes the ?t=... parameter which does not appear to be included in the original link or used by the volcano discovery website. I'm not sure where that came from.

In the second tweet (original) both of the links supplied in the tweet failed to convert from the t.co link to the original URL.

CONVERT_TCO_LINKS envar was not explicitly defined in the .env.

Lastly, here's the third tweet in the series:

In this tweet (original), there's no t.co link at all, but all the UTM parameters are present. In this case, the REMOVE_UTM=True envar was explicitly defined in the .env.

Running the latest image.

I'm seeing this as well while running the latest Docker image. I've not defined CONVERT_TCO_LINKS in my environment variables as it should default to true, per .env.example (Related: #81). Here is an example Tweet link and a screenshot of the embed...
