- mdip 2y agoWell, that'd be too easy, then, wouldn't it. :) Due likely to extensions in Firefox, I get empty image previews on X (I believe I deleted my account several years ago). It's not always clear when there's more than one so when I clicked, I saw the response, not the reason. So the one other person on Earth with my wonky setup might get some help ;)
- shadowgovt 2y agoAt this point, sharing links to X is on-par with sharing links to New York Times. The odds everyone on HN will be able to read the link are low.
- xeromal 2y agotwitter is such a pain to follow at least for me.
- plorkyeran 2y agoIt's a single tweet with all of the context included in that tweet. There's nothing to follow.
- xeromal 2y agoI'm that stupid.
- panarky 2y agoSometimes it's that simple. Sometimes it's a thread that can't be read unless you're logged in. Sometimes the interesting bit is in the comments which may or may not show up if you're not logged in. Sometimes it's a video that might play three times out of five, or it might just show an endless spinner two times out of five. The platform itself is a dog's breakfast of dark patterns and unpredictable glitches, so when I see a link to X my reflex is to downrank it just for the high probability of frustration.
