Ask HN: Is HN banning Twitter links?
I posted something newsworthy from OpenAI but noticed the post doesn't have the "discuss" button. This typically happens when a website is banned on HN (like dev.to and many others).
Is twitter added to that list?
- johnrushx 3y agonever seen a twitter link here, perhaps true
- mtmail 3y agoPlenty of Twitter submissions https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=twitter.com https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=twitter.com In comments, those stories that make it to the frontpage, I notice that more users object twitter submissions because without an account you might be locked out or in case of a thread not be able to see the follow-ups. Though nitter as work-around still works. Anyway, not sure what's going on with this particular submission, I clicked 'vouch' now.
- mtmail 3y agoMy theory: HN somehow sees the Twitter account is new(ish). It has only 2 tweets, follows 0 other users. And thus in quarantaine ([dead], needs somebody to vouch) because likely it's spam or self-promotion.
- sp332 3y agoIt doesn't look like it's hidden or dead or anything. The discuss link works fine: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38660621 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38660621
