All you're doing is putting lipstick on a pig. This isn't even a better Nitter <https://nitter.net/about https://nitter.net/about>. If you want to do something useful, I'd like to see you create a Twitter look-alike that pulls from members' RSS/Atom/JSON feeds rather than letting them post directly. No likes, no reshares, no comments. Just pure feed aggregation in reverse chronological order like the Demiurge intended. We need more webrings and sites like Nightfall City <https://nightfall.city/ https://nightfall.city/>, not FOSS developers reskinning a parasocial media site and not getting a dime in payment.

You seem to be kind of shadowban (not sure what the proper term is), you might want to write an email to the hn moderation to clear that up

  I can't be bothered. If they want to censor me that's their prerogative. I'm not paying to shitpost here, and I'm not getting paid to be here either; I'm just a guest.

I know it's not as good as nitter(didn't know about it) But I'm trying :), I see nitter has 22 contributors, Kizie has only one person working, give me some time I'll make it as better as I can

  No matter what you do, Kizie will be worthless as long as it depends on Twitter. Twitter is nothing but the men's room wall of the internet. Its content is nothing but variations on the following theme: Here I sit, brokenhearted / I came to shit and only farted

Comments like yours are such a stain to the community. If you have nothing constructive to say, keep it to yourself.

  They're not wrong. What even is this? A monetised front for Twitter? Not even it's own site? It's garbage, sites like this are the 'stain to the community', not the people pointing it out.

    What an incredible take. So we should never build alternative UI’s for X? It always has to be original software in every regard? Unreal, get out of here with your bottom of the barrel thinking. Don’t trash on someone’s work because you lack creative thinking. It’s pathetic and unwanted.

  Nobody elected you moderator, let alone arbiter of constructive commentary. I don't answer to you, and I'm certainly not here for your edification. Besides, HN isn't a community. It's a groupthink incubator where overprivileged techies who weren't bullied enough as children simp for billionaires and VCs. Newsflash: senpai will never notice you.

Regardless of differing political opinions and objectives, this comment comes off as unnecessarily aggressive and infers OP's tool is useless. I really wish stuff like this wasn't on Hacker News.

  > Regardless of differing political opinions and objectives, this comment comes off as unnecessarily aggressive and infers OP's tool is useless. I suppose I must be more explicit, then, since you took my previous post as mere inference. Did you perhaps mean 'implication', by the way? In my opinion OP's tool is useless. We already have an alternative self-hostable front-end for Twitter — Nitter — that works reasonably well as long as you don't run into Twitter's API rate limits. OP is just reinventing the wheel and since they're no friend of mine I see no reason to sugarcoat it for them. > I really wish stuff like this wasn't on Hacker News. Your wish is not my command. If the mod team wants to ban me, that's their prerogative, but until they do I will continue to speak from the heart. If my heart is too basaltic for you, that's your problem.
