Comments moved thither. Thanks! Edit: actually, since that source doesn't appear to have a paywall workaround at the moment, I'm going to merge the thread back hither.

  All moderation is better when accompanied by descriptions of going hither and thither.

    All? Even important service announcements or serious notifications? edit: why the downvotes? I'm simply trying to engage in curious discussion. Apologies, I'm neurodivergent and I can't often discern between humor or not.

      > edit: why the downvotes? I'm simply trying to engage in curious discussion. Apologies, I'm neurodivergent and I can't often discern between humor or not. I appreciate your willingness to ask questions, and your candor about neurodivergence. I wish it were easier to tell the difference on the internet between someone who's trolling and someone who just doesn't get the day's in-joke, and, unfortunately, since trolls are really good at seizing on the benefit of the doubt, it's often expedient to err on the side of harshness. I was making a whimsical remark—not especially a joke, since there was no intended punchline. The words 'hither' and 'thither' used to be more common, but nowadays have more of an archaic flavor, so I found it funny to see them here. (I had not been aware of the context provided by SushiHippie (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36555921 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36555921), so it was only an in-joke by lucky happenstance.)

Would be even better if HN would automatically rewrite Twitter links to use the current workaround. Especially if the point is to foster discussion here around a single comment, no need to load the whole application.

    Yes, I for one will not be signing in to Twitter to view a tweet posted on HN, I will just move on.

  As long as it doesn’t subsequently have to move yon.

It’s notable that it’s Elon, not Yaccarino, making this announcement (and likely decision).
- minimaxir 3y ago
  Yaccarino doesn't seem to be making the wide-sweeping announcements that Elon does. Given that this outage and rate limiting may legit make Twitter's business infeasible, I change my prediction that Yaccarino will leave Twitter from within 3 months to within 3 weeks.

    These people tend to hold on until right before their reputation is totally unsalvageable so they can relaunch their personal brand with a hero narrative.

      That's what happened Esther Crawford, now she tweets about her hopes to productize 'moments of calm and psychological intimacy', whatever that means. Can't load the tweet rn because rate limited (lol) but the replies were divided between people shilling their product and other people suggesting that fireplaces and loveseats already meet this need.

    I’d bet good money on you being wrong. Want to do $1k? We can use a trusted middleman and perform deposits or whatnot.
