No, it's not just you. Paywals might be debatable, but login-walled links to social media are not in the spirit of HN as I imagine it.

- baby 2y agoEveryone has twitter and it's for free, paywall is not debatable imo
- moritzwarhier 2y agoI don't have Twitter anymore and I'm not planning to change that. With "debatable", I meant that paywalls are more acceptable to me. Luckily, anything worthwhile originally posted on X tends to surface on the open web after a while anyway. And most of the times, the value of xitter threads is entirely in external links anyway. So OK, to each their own. I hope this won't extend towards tolerating links to Instagram or Facebook groups as HN submissions. Not for me to decide.
