I wish people didn't post twitter links to HN. They're almost always useless now you have to have an account.

I’ve never upvoted a Twitter submission – even if provokes a good discussion on Hacker News. I don’t think Twitter is conducive to meaningful discourse and I don’t want to promote it. Since they renamed to X, the situation has only worsened with its user-hostile UI and required logins.
I wish people didn't use Twitter links at all. They almost never convey real information, just a quick opinion. If they're useful at all, it's to point to a real article or study or whatever, so just point to the real ultimate source.

Zvi's blog is infuriating for this. He seems to think the whole world revolves around Twitter.
