Well he did retweet another tweet that kickstarted the convo, very possible he saw that tweet, said to himself "I have some of these to share!" and then proceeded to... do so.

Greg Isenberg's viral tweet about VC that fell asleep during a pitch kicked off a bunch of other tweets about weird VC experiences this week: https://x.com/gregisenberg/status/2061794787825479818 https://x.com/gregisenberg/status/2061794787825479818 Some QTs: https://x.com/dunkhippo33/status/2062768969560510486 https://x.com/dunkhippo33/status/2062768969560510486 https://x.com/typesfast/status/2062791307094048937 https://x.com/typesfast/status/2062791307094048937 https://x.com/awxjack/status/2062605286683336757 https://x.com/awxjack/status/2062605286683336757 https://x.com/travisk/status/2062224472426365045 https://x.com/travisk/status/2062224472426365045 https://x.com/mark_cummins/status/2062293061426663612 https://x.com/mark_cummins/status/2062293061426663612

    Can you please fix the URL? HN policy is to link to the canonical site rather than an archive service, which I’m sure you are aware of. Thanks!

      Which URL?

        Ah, I see. I actually originally posted the x.com links but plenty of HN users can't read Twitter threads that way, so we usually try to provide a readable alternative. (Plus this helps to reduce offtopic complaints in threads.) You'll therefore often see both a twitter/x link and the corresponding xcancel link in toptext - like in these recent examples: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48317774 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48317774 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48311485 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48311485 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48212493 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48212493 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48071262 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48071262 In the current case, I decided not to do that because it would have made the toptext way too noisy, so I chose the domain that most people would be able to read. As for HN's policy, you're right about the rule but not its scope. It only applies to submission links, i.e. the URL that a story title is linked to, which also determines the domain displayed to the right of the title.
