I'm not touching a server owned by kiwifarms.

After reading about the person running HN threatening local government officials maybe none of us should be using any server owned by HN either.

If we use servers owned by Twitter/X does that mean we identify with the political ideologies of whomever owns it servers.

As it happens, there is no need to touch any server owned by KF when using nitter.poast.org. So you should be safe.

Maybe we should revoke Section 230 and require that server owners take legal responsibility for the behaviours of the people who use them. That would spell the end of Twitter/X. Then we would not have to use Nitter instances. Problem solved!

Wow, I did not know that. It is just an instance that seems to work better than all the others I tried.

There was a submission about KF a while ago and it summoned an army of impromptu commenters that literally took over the thread, suppressing any negative commentary. Interesting PR strategy.

TBH, I do not use Twitter much at all. It's only when I'm checking something someone submitted to HN. Would be nice if people stopped submitting "tweets". There is rarely anything worth reading in them. Often it's just someone sharing a URL. Why not submit the URL instead.
