Title: Every day there are posts here with some Twitter thread as the source.<p>This used to be just annoying in the past (because of the overall low quality of such sources), but now it&#x27;s gone too far.
Twitter won&#x27;t let you see the content without logging in anymore. At least this is what I see when I open a Twitter link and scroll down: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;E0h2CtQ.png<p>There are many free blog posting platforms out there that don&#x27;t annoy users like that and — needless to say — are in a much more readable format. All it takes is a couple of minutes to sign up...<p>I think such a HN rule could help in promoting common decency on the web.<p>EDIT: A couple of posters made valid points against an outright ban. Someone suggested flagging paywalls&#x2F;credential-walls. How about lowering the score for Twitter-link submissions (something like: 1 vote counts 0.5 votes)?
