Issue with Twitter and Redirects

Got a problem that this place might be the ideal place for a suggested solution....

I have a new Music information web site that is using the .watch domain name suffixes and Twitter have flagged the site up as being a malware site despite the fact that all that's on the domain is a Forum on information for Musicians and how to survive the whole COVID-19 situation powered by SMF (Simple Machines Format).

This means that when I post a link on Twitter (and only Twitter), when you click on the link it goes to a Twitter Warning page saying that it's flagged up as a Malware site (or potential malware site) which means click thru's have been slaughtered.

I tried a Bit/ly redirect and I've tried a bit.ly redirect to another site on the same server followed by a redirect from that domain and it still comes up as potential feckin' ('scuse the language) potential Malware link.

The only thing I haven't tried is a bit.ly redirect to another server and then a redirect from that server to the target site. Anyone got any other suggestions?

http or https ?

http

You should use your own domain. Buy a new domain then redirect it to the banned one, this will fix your issue.

Newdomain.com > redirect > banneddomain.com > solved

won't work with a 302 / 301 server redirect, as those are followed.

You'd need a JS redirect, or perhaps a meta refresh, but JS would be best
