We probably can't fix Twitter. Would it be possible to reconsider the guidelines to allow for alternative views of websites that have absolutely atrocious usability?
- deadbunny 4y agoI've never had this issue with Twitter threads. Granted I'm signed in and viewing with Firefox + ad blocker.
- thih9 4y agoThe experience is different when you're not signed in; you can only view a couple of tweets and then you hit a login wall.
- dang 4y agoSome people feel the way you do and some people feel the opposite way. It's clear that no solution will satisfy everyone, so it's best to stick with the original source rule and then have links to alternatives in the comments. (Btw in case it's helpful, I've found the Minimal Twitter extension tolerable - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20517129 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20517129. Personal opinion, not qua moderator!)
