HN guidelines should ban "x.com" links entirely.

- randunel 2y agoIn my experience, the vast majority of x.com links are unreadable, either an out of context message or some introductory phrase with no actual content. I'd support such a ban, there are far better sources for that content, such as the link provided in this post. HN doesn't enforce an "original link only" rule, and there are frequent URL changes to non-original content, mostly articles, which are more readable, or provide more information. Simply put, x.com links seldom offer content for us to digest and comment on.

- karlzt 2y agoNot necessary, use LibRedirect[0] on Firefox so when you click on an X link it redirects to Nitter. [0]https://libredirect.github.io/ https://libredirect.github.io/
- anonfordays 2y agoNitter is dead. After the API changes all the instances are broken and no longer work. Nitter the project itself states this: https://nitter.cz/ https://nitter.cz/ What a neat project it was, truly showed the capabilities and development easy of Nimlang.
