@dang, please change the root link to the nitter thread.
- voytec 3y agoOn one hand, this suggestion stands in opposition to HN rules (link to source) but on the other is more reasonable as linking nitter provides viewer with more information, as an addition to single post that non-registered Twitter users would be able to see.
- shkkmo 3y agoIt is like suggesting that the link on a paywalled article be changed to an archive link without the paywall. That isn't the way HN has decided to operate. Instead, users get taught to visit the comments first and upvote a comment with that link.
- dehrmann 3y agoConsidering HN is a YC thing, the useful feedback at this point might be that X isn't the best outlet to reach audiences anymore, and maybe they should post it somewhere else.
- dang 3y agoWe want the canonical URL at the top. Alternate sources, so that more people can read ab article, are welcome as links from the thread. We detached this subthread from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37627964 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37627964.
