Serious question: can these “instructions” be ignored?
I’m no legal expert, but don’t health agencies draw authority from laws, not executive whims?
My hot take: ignore it until you have no other choice.
Don’t make it easy.
Make them work for it.
Do not obey in advance.

good point! skyfeed does allow excluding tags/words (I could add medrxiv) but that would mean even if someone wanted to intentionally post a medrxiv link to #episki it would be excluded. But folks could use tinyurl instead to post a link, or maybe the bsky linkcard would get around it - I'll test!
