You 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.

Humans 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.

While true, I'd much rather read discussions on HN than say X or even Reddit these days.

I had a good laugh at this, how ridiculous
I 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".
I 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.
