On a tech forum one would expect the reasons to be more centered upon tech rather than (what I think you're referring to anyway) politics. Twitter sucks because it's full of JavaScript and tracking that you don't need, so I would imagine that most on HN would find it burdensome to even view the content, since many in tech whittle the content down to only getting the packets necessary - which Twitter/Facebook make very difficult. Nitter has a much better user interface and makes it much easier to see what is happening on your device. Other than that, the content is mostly just low quality as well, so there's little reason to use it.
