I find it insulting that it is still allowed to submit "links" to Twitter posts on HN. It is a pervasion of the concept of "Links". You are teasing something that might be of interest that then can not be read by a majority of users.
While Nitter still worked at least people here could then post alternative links. Now that Nitter is dead, that's no longer an option.
And therefore people really should stop submitting Twitter links here. Instead contact the author and ask him to at least cross-post to some accessible platform. How hard can it be to cross-post to Mastodon, Bluesky or ... OMG, a website?
The honourable Court of the Fish has given its ruling, tipping the scales of justice towards linking to the open net on HN.
* the court could not determine the plaintiff's legal standing, as the plaintiff had no legs, however 'slopping' was considered an acceptable substitute to standing.
