- styren 3y agoAll depends on the accounts that you follow but I agree that the search function of X is horrible.
- stainablesteel 3y agoThe TL;DR of how you can search on X: • from:twittername • keyword1 OR keyword2 • min_faves:2000 • min_retweets:2000 • filter:links • filter:images • until:YYYY-MM-DD • since:YYYY-MM-DD • near:location within:15mi its actually a pretty nice search ngl

- Arubis 3y agoHN has plenty of flaws and cultural issues, but the stated intention here is to promote discussion, not "user engagement". Where Twitter/X promotes outright lies, here I typically take more issue with folks' lenses and biases. tl;dr: I trust HN orders of magnitude more than Twitter and crew.
- _jal 3y agoIs Ycombinator paying out to their "content generators" here? Also, while I can imagine one's HN reputation helping someone a job or find a venture partner in this little bubble, there is no comparison with Xitter's reach.
