Hmm, I wonder if this is just an experiment, a bug, or something permanent.
Posting twitter links to places like HN will be a no-no, since a good portion of the people can't view the content. Will that stop people from using Twitter to inform?
- tjpnz 3y agoTweets will still be posted but there'll be an accompanying archive link as with paywalled articles.
- midasz 3y agoPosting Twitter links anywhere should've been a no-no long time ago with the login popups. Before nitter I just skipped them entirely.
- jwr 3y agoUnfortunately, many things posted to HN are not on the Internet. Paywalled links, links to articles where the publisher does the idiotic IP-based regionalization and denies access to those not in his "region", etc. I believe HN should make a rule that only links to things on the Internet are allowed. If it's not readable by anyone with an IP address, it shouldn't be on HN.
- oneeyedpigeon 3y agoAgreed; clicking on a paywall link is such an unedifying experience. Direct links to paywalled content should almost always be avoided, not just on HN!
- spiffytech 3y ago> Hmm, I wonder if this is just an experiment, a bug, or something permanent. Twitter appointed a new CEO earlier this month. I wouldn't be surprised if this is the new policy from the new leader. Ars Technica ran a story yesterday detailing her plans, which include full-screen video ads with sound. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/06/linda-yaccarinos-vision-for-twitter-2-0-emerges/ https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/06/linda-yaccarinos...
