Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Global outage on fetching posts. Funny enough, some features are still working as evidenced by the fact #TwitterDown is trending.

Two HN threads about this now, looking forward to some excellent takes

Someday I should go through the 6.5K comments on the threads where the Twitter acquisition was discussed and sum up the sentiment then vs now

HN has a split view of Xhitter, every thread about it moans about how you have to have an account to view replies, but it's also the great White anti-woke hope

also the domain at HN is still twitter.com not x.com, which I feel is dang or PG giving Husk the finger. Fuck they even say "tweets" instead of "posts"

White anti-woke hope

Before twitter went down Musk was agreeing with people saying that the left is letting in illegals so they get more left wing votes (illegals can vote or something). So yeah going well.
