First of all it's not a tweet storm, it's the thread that is now the official twitter feature. Secondly, there is no any good reason to prevent good twitter threads to be posted to HN. Technically you can send anything and if the community appreciates it, it does not matter what form it was presented. Thirdly, what are you HN police?
- chatmasta 9y agoHalf the comments here are complaining about twitter, and with good reason. It shouldn’t require fifteen page-downs through the avatars of a bunch of twitter blowhards, just to read a simple list of links. Beyond that, there is basically nothing interesting about this post. It’s a list of lists of books that probably covers 99% of the NYT best selling list. There is nothing novel or interesting to HN readers about this. The only time linking to twitter is justified IMO is when the linked tweet is truly a primary source of breaking news. If I wanted to read any of the other BS on that site, I would use their app. And btw it’s not true that you can “technically send anything,” as the HN guidelines [0] establish. Granted I’m guilty of violating them by calling out this post; I should have just flagged it as trash (which I did) and moved on without commenting.

- sAbakumoff 9y agoInteresting...so you are violating the guidelines by rebuking the post that actually conforms them. Is "hypocrisy" right word for it?
- chatmasta 9y agoI’m not sure hypocrisy covers when someone openly admits their hypocrisy ahead of time.
- sAbakumoff 9y agoYes, this is why I am asking for a right word for it.
