Not news from anyone I want to hear about, not people I want to have a conversation with.
- LordDragonfang 2mo agoConsidering the number of users, even official government departments, it still has, you would have to be very myopic and have very few interests for this to be true. The fact you're posting on Hacker News at all invalidates it; a huge portion of the type of people who hit the front page here are on Twitter.
- ErroneousBosh 2mo ago> a huge portion of the type of people who hit the front page here are on Twitter. Yes, but I can ignore them. I ignore Nazis because people get really upset these days if you punch them.
- lenkite 2mo agoThe overwhelming majority of folks on twitter (>99.9999999%) are non-nazis. Oh, I don't use Twitter myself but that's because its also overwhelmingly social media spam on steroids.
- ErroneousBosh 2mo agoIf someone sits down for dinner with ten Nazis there are 11 nazis at the table.
- allarm 2mo agoI'm pretty sure there are some here on this forum as well. Fell free to log out and never come back.
- account42 1mo agoYes, I don't follow anyone on Twitter directly but often the primary/authorative source for something that gets posted elsewhere is still an post on X.com.
