There are a few variants of Twitter front-ends. Threadreader is specifically aimed at presenting longer threads. Nitter removes the annoyances of viewing a specific post and discussion (it includes replies, Threadreader does not).

I've suggested that given the increased dark patterns / hostile attitude that HN might run its own Nitter instance and proxy Twitter submissions through that.

That suggestion might also be made of YouTube (via either Invidious or Piped), and Reddit (Teddit), and Medium (Scribe). There's also Bibliogram (for Instagram), though that site gets very few successful submissions.

HN does presently rewrite all Reddit submissions (and possibly comments) to "old.reddit.com" from "www.reddit.com" to provide the old desktop interface. I increasingly view threads only through Teddit to avoid numerous Reddit annoyances --- Teddit will rewrite further links so that you're rarely if ever redirected to the broken nominal site. (I can't recall an "if ever", other workarounds such as i.reddit.com or old.reddit.com frequently land back at the new broken-by-design site.)
