It's impossible to access this content (even more so now that nitter is dead). Should HN continue driving traffic to a site that is entirely inaccessible?
We shouldn't censor ourselves and not discuss information that was posted on twitter.
So this type of content means that in order to follow the discussion I must also be a twitter subscriber.
Maybe people could consider first creating an archive.org snapshot that is then linked instead. Would be the kind thing to do and help the rest of us.
Yes, that would be the best way to handle this.
If it’s a whole thread though then just don’t bother. That approach to blogging is just dumb.
It made Trump president and gives Musk control of the media narrative though so it certainly works for some people.
This link opens the post for me, while paywalled news is semi-routinely posted.
What’s the objection?
In other words, paywalled news is a first party content provider, but Twitter is just a third party who inject their mandatory login between me (the reader) and the writer so they can make some profit by showing ads on the content.
That's fine, but authors should consider if they want to publish on a site like that when there are so many other options.
