True, but in this case the comments really aren’t about this single Twitter thread, but the use of Twitter threads in lieu of a Webpage. This discussion is of current and general relevance about that particular format, using this great content as an example. It’s not that common in this case.
Not a topic hijacking, but indirectly meeting a need that hasn’t been met by anyone posting an article addressing the Twitter thread issue as it has evolved over the last several months. This discussion has the benefit of a concrete example. Perhaps someone could post an article that focuses just on Twitter threads and the discussion can continue there?
- dang 5y ago> the use of Twitter threads in lieu of a Webpage Yes, this is an extremely common complaint which has taken so many HN threads so far off topic that it just needs to stop. Nothing so repetitive is interesting. Some people choose to post great content in a series of tweets—for whatever reason. It's the way the world is and complaining about it on HN doesn't help. We specifically changed that guideline to say "article or website formats" in order to clearly cover this case.
