I flag and hide every single Twitter post that I see. HN’s code seems to be stuck in the 2000s, so there’s no easy way to automatically block or filter beyond that. To be honest, I just end up coming to this site less than I used to.

I know there are HN bots pulling stories to Mastodon but I don't think there's an official instance.

IMO there's a lot more propaganda here.

Bluesky is completely mental. People crucified X for occasional swastika "art", while Blusky openly promotes communist symbolism that is illegal in good chunk in Europe. Insane.

"On Monday 24th August at 8PM EST, we received at letter from X Corp. asking to cease and desist the service XCancel. The service XCancel is stopped until further notice.

Presumably because it advances the goals of Hacker News and perhaps YCombinator.

Are people here really surprised that the techno-capitalist aggregator people would make an account on Elon’s website?

Has that kinda vibe.

As a casual Xcancel user, this is actually the first I'm hearing of this. Wow, what a bummer
