- rapnie 2y agoIt would be better if the HN submission link was updated, as it has way more engagement than on X.

- chrisan 2y agoYou got me to click, thinking there would be some kind of insight, but then I was greeted with people arguing over "last night" vs "that night" typo.
- seanthemon 2y agoI had a good laugh at this, how ridiculous
- luuurker 2y agoHumans will always be humans, independently of the platform. :-P In any case, at least we can see the replies and other posts from the account without having to create an account. Still better than Twitter/X in my view.
- justaj 2y ago> Humans will always be humans, independently of the platform. :-P While true, I'd much rather read discussions on HN than say X or even Reddit these days.
- fortran77 2y agoI did the same thing (and then downvoted the guy who suggested it was better!) It was much worse than the discourse on Twitter, with folks hurling insults at each other and saying things like "don't turn this into [X]itter".
- amatecha 2y agoI mean, I just clicked through and scrolled through a bunch of messages and all I'm seeing is people helping each other find the app via other means until the Play Store issue is resolved. In fact, the further I scroll, the more I see totally normal discourse about the issue of the app being delisted. Now that I look more closely, I see that the "last night" / "xitter" stuff is a single thread out of dozens of on-topic messages.
- ploum 2y ago— Stop linking to Twitter/X ! — But that’s where the information is. — Stop linking to Twitter/X, here’s a Fediverse link with more information. — But it has fewer engagement. — Stop linking to Twitter/X, here’s a Fediverse link with more information and more engagement. — … — OK, at some point, you need to recognize that you are the problem.
- FredPret 2y agoWhy “stop linking to X”? Why does posting there make a user a “problem”? Who’s the judge of what’s a “problem” and what are the criteria, I wonder.
- luuurker 2y ago> Why “stop linking to X”? As someone without a Twitter/X account, their links are bad. I can only see the first post of a chain, can't see replies, etc. Mastodon is better in that regard. This has nothing to do with the content of the platform, Musk, etc, btw. It's just the fact that now it's a bit hostile for logged out users/people without accounts. It used to be fine, but now it hides content, which is bad for me.
- BLKNSLVR 2y agoYep, exactly. Twitter makes no sense at all from the perspective of a non-user. Posts are all over the place, no coherent order. It only motivates me to avoid the platform.
- RHSeeger 2y ago> It used to be fine It was always awful, in my opinion. Twitter does a good job at letting people publish "sound bytes"; little bits of what's on their mind. Past that (into longer form and discussion) it has never been good.
- luuurker 2y agoRight, it was never a good platform for longer posts, but before at least you could try to follow the different posts. Now, public links only show one post and that's it.
