> Why did someone post my tweet on Hacker News?
> It's not news! It's not an announcement of anything. It doesn't contain any novel information.
> If anyone on HN is reading this tweet, post a link telling people to stop discussing my other tweet please. :-)

- jefftk 5y ago> > Why did someone post my tweet on Hacker News? HN discusses opinion posts regularly, including ones posted on Twitter, and this one is on a topic lots of people here are interested in.
- nanis 5y agoJust so there is no doubt, I am NOT @lapcatsoftware. I just went to look for the tweet referenced here and I noticed this, so I am relaying it here. I have a feeling anyone reading the discussion here does understand the idea behind HN. If you did want to engage @lapcatsoftware, you may want to do it on Twitter.
- jefftk 5y agoI know you're not ;) Hence the ">>" I don't do Twitter, so that won't be me
- jessaustin 5y agoI can't tell whether that's a joke. People on Twitter are often funny, so it could be a joke. However, people on Twitter are also often clueless, so there could be a genuine desire to publicly post a controversial opinion without that opinion inspiring public conversation.
- wila 5y agoIt's not a joke and he certainly isn't clueless.
- jessaustin 5y agoPerhaps not clueless on the topic of browser features, but probably on the topic of whether tweeting is a public or private action.
