I went through the code, some of the tweets, and I'm trying to figure out what they are thinking. The best guess I can come up with, is if someone were to make their own tool similar to the ubiquitous "curl" or "wget", there would be a kneejerk reaction from some people (lol it's curl but worse), while most people would be happy to simply ignore it, and a few would be curious about it.
The problem with Twitter is that it gives an equal platform to everyone's opinions even if it is without merit or reasonable discourse.

- endorphine 4y agoHN has moderation (with a higher bar than Twitter) and downvotes, so I wouldn't say it's the same issue.
- robertlagrant 4y agoTrue, although Twitter allows self-directed moderation through blocking and following.
