I guess it would weaken my point if you were posting on this subject on both HN and 4chan now. My point was intended as a rhetorical one to highlight that people generally post to HN because they're looking for a certain kind of audien

It's pretty established that individual Mastodon nodes are able to impose the rules they want and network with whichever Mastodon nodes they want. And many popular Mastodon nodes have stricter rules than Twitter, so it would hardly be
