So cool. Love seeing this novel pivot of HN data. Just confirmed that my comments are well embedded by testing a few topics (longevity and mouse biology). Privacy issues not a concern for most academic researchers (we typically beg for PR), but I can see that this might contribute to more cautious wording.
I left Twitter right before it became X, and focused on HN as a “breaking news and commentary” that is mercifully free of politics.
