  and Truth Social honestly guys, its time to download Truth Social so you can see what the President and the right is really saying by the time it hits your feeds elsewhere, it is often times altered just to inflame you and whatever segment of the algorithm's tree you are already pigeonholed in

It seems a lot of reddit communities are starting to block xitter as it's painful to use now without an account. Should HN do the same?
- loeg 2y ago
  Nah. I just wanted to see a source I trusted to be legitimate before sharing a sensational story.
  - frinxor 2y ago
    if its on front page of HN already w/ hundreds of votes, i think its fair to assume its legitimate regardless of the source.
    - loeg 2y ago
      True looking nonsense floats to the top of HN semi-regularly; it's not a good enough metric.
  - kernal 2y ago
    What far left sources do you consider “trusted”?
    - loeg 2y ago
      I don't think this is responsive to my comment. I'm happy to trust reporting from NYT, Reuters, AP, WSJ, Wapo, Bloomberg, major regional newspapers... it's not a super high or politicized bar. Just something other than "a single twitter account."
- psygn89 2y ago
  No. Let us decide how we want to handle it. Most of us could handle it ourselves through scripts and extensions if it really bothered us anyway.
- hbbio 2y ago
  Of course not, the tweet here is _the_ original source for that news

  The main reason all the subs made this change today is because of the elon nazi salute, not the fact that twitter is hostile to unauthenticated user agents.
