Seems like Zuckerberg had already made up his mind and needed an engineer to positively confirm his desired path through a very power imbalanced chat... No shade towards the engineer at all, but besides the very first "My instinct is” comment the engineer literally could have just been ChatGPT and Zuck would have gotten a similar convo.

In fairness if the founder and CEO pings me and asks me who the company should buy, you can bet I'm giving a similarly hand wavy bullshit answer.

I'm not sure it's a bullshit answer at all. They present pros and cons. Zuck can then take them into consideration, given wider strategic consideration.

Much more useful than "this one".

Why support a workaround-hack for a dying platform instead of a well working alternative that many shift towards already?

Because some people don't agree with your biased characterization.

Is it biased to call him a racist? A Neo-Nazi? Personally, I don't want to be associated with or provide help to that.

This should be the URL in the post, Twitter requires a login, Bluesky doesn't.

I dislike twitter just as much as the next guy, but i was able to read the conversation without logging in. EU exit point here. Maybe that plays a role? having to click through each single image is quiet the turn-off though. not missing the platform

I can see the first post on Twitter, but nothing else. Also in the EU. It seems to be fairly random, really. Probably best to go with a fully working social network where available for this sort of post.

Why what happened?

If you are not logged into a Twitter [1] account it usually only shows you the post, not any replies. Some people who are not logged in do get to see the whole thread but I haven't seen anyone figure out how it decides who gets that privilege.

Usually you can work around that by changing this host from x.com to xcancel.com.

[1] I continue to call it Twitter rather than X because Twitter is easier to search for. For example if you wanted to find all my comments here about or mentioning Twitter a comment search for "author:tzs twitter" would find them. There are very few, if any, times that the string "twitter" occurs in my corpus of HN comments where it isn't referring to the social media service formerly known as Twitter.

A search for "author:tzs x" on the other hand will overwhelming bring up comments that have nothing to do with that social media service.

As much as I hate Twitter I was unable to read this @ Bluesky at my iPhone 13 Mini because left/right arrows covered words, this is a mobile design straight from the mid 00s. So bad.
