Can we block Twitter links on HN?
No point in supporting that user-hostile tire fire.
This could have been on Mastodon.

Of course he can. And he already does I assume, considering his other remarks in the comment. So including him in the 'we' does not really make sense ... if you consider it a question. Which it is not.
> "Can you ban..." who is "you" in that case?
That would be us dude, but not him as there is no reason to ask him, his position is clear.
So he is telling us what to do, dressed up as a question.
It is not a question.
Geez, it is you who is the authoritarian for coming so hard at the person who asked a pertinent question.
Geez.
Of course, who knows what it'll be doing tomorrow. I'd definitely think it's probably time for HN to prefer Mastodon (or Threads, I suppose) links, where a post is available on multiple microblogging things; Twitter has had any one of about five behaviours for non-logged-in linked tweets (work properly, work but without replies, spin forever, redirect to login, generic error page) over the last week, depending on when you try.
(Mastodon link works.)
Don't you find it ironic that you are proposing we do on HN exactly what Twitter did, which is probably why you suggest not linking to Twitter?
