Thanks for the reply! Yeah, I understand that Twitter/X has its own rules and filters — maybe I just wasn’t “using it right.” But what struck me wasn’t just the low engagement — it was the feeling. Everything there feels like noise. Hacker News feels like signal. Sure, HN has scoring and ranking behind the scenes too, but it still feels... human. Like people here actually read what you write. And that’s rare these days. And yeah — the VPN filtering really helped! I’ve noticed less spam lately too. Whatever the mods and devs did, it’s clearly working. By the way, I still use Twitter/X — been there for about two months now. But even after spending time there, the engagement is way lower compared to what I’ve experienced on HN. That says a lot. Appreciate your thoughts! Just wanted to share what this place means to me.
