alt Hacker NewsFor better or worse, some important people only post on X. Whenever an X post makes it to front page HN, it's convenient to have Libredirect installed and then it takes you to Nitter instead so you can actually read it.

You can wait a week and if it's important the local newspaper will include it in the hardcopy. If it's not important, then well... it's not important.

I have never needed to go to X and if the persons comments matter, it shows up on other social media platforms.

I think it's the saddest thing that the X-articles thing has somewhat caught on there. Some of it is slop, sure, but people started hosting their longer form opinions on X instead of their own blogs, which is unfortunate.
It's for worse. Stop clicking on twitter/nitter/xitter links, stop following those people. If they care to keep you as an audience, they will move to another platform.
