Oh great! Now people are posting 'toots' as news stories, as well as tweets.
Why don't we just go the whole hog and embed Twatter inside an iframe on HN and discuss our favourite Tweets entirely via emojis?

As someone who has nothing to do with Twitter [or FB or Mastodon for that matter] I just find it both extremey irritating and equally as alarming that it seems to be becoming the de facto place where journalist go to research a story.
Hence why I tend to voer-react when I see the same tendency creeping in on HN, which I used to think of as a 'place where I can go to read interesting science and technology articles that people have come across'. If I wanted to know what someone tweeted, I'd go directly to Twitter. I can really do without the entire newsgathering section of the internet turning into a Twitter mirror site.
