I don't think HN is representative of much outside of a niche corner of the internet. A lot of people, like the parent post, don't like Twitter due to political differences with the owner. So any Twitter post or post about Twitter often turns into a flame war and gets de-emphasized by HN mods or flagged by users. Twitter is incredibly influential. Newspapers quote tweets generously. I've seen entire articles based on the tweets of someone with barely any followers, often self serving, used as cover. For instance you'll see "widely criticized... X user [...] posted 'this is unprecedented'" You can not like Twitter and hold whatever political opinion you want, but don't pretend Twitter has little influence. > This is based on? I don't know, I see literal Nazis on the platform and I don't see them on any other social media platform, so maybe they have a more permissive policy? Doesn't seem an unreasonable measure of how much free speech is allowed. Similarly, I see people calling the owner a Nazi very prominently on my timeline and trending. I don't think you'll see TikTok trends criticizing China last very long. Again, you can not like the platform and want to see fewer Nazis, but don't gaslight me by pretending other social media companies outside of 4-chan are somehow more dedicated to free speech.
