Why is Link still banned?

Is it because he embarrassed Bluesky's CEO after she followed another anti-trans hate monger while she went on a three-day meltdown mocking trans users and their safety concerns on Bluesky?
Bluesky screenshot. Link: Following Jonathan Chait after being accused of transphobia is certainly a choice. Bluesky's CEO is shown as following both Jonathan Chait and Matt Yglesias after going on a three-day meltdown mocking trans users and their safety concerns on Bluesky.

not to be rude to this guy but if this is your MOST woke opinion.... woof. failed the assignment bro
The economy is incredibly broken. We should move to universal basic income. Talia "Estro Junkies" Bhatt 9& @taliabhatt.itch.io • 2m @faelfaer @ shelher © xe/xir © xe/xem "my least woke opinion is---" That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania. Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

In an Australia first, I used FOI to get the AI chat logs of Australia's top national security bureaucrat.

They show how he used Microsoft Copilot to ghostwrite speeches and messages to colleagues.

This comes as the government looks to push AI use in the public service.

Something intensely Boston about our most prominent landmark now being a slide you'd drunkenly go down on a dare that actively harms you.

I love that the Boston cop slide never got fixed and now people just willingly go down it in tribute. It’s basically a national landmark at this point

Alex says "I'm gonna give back to the community! I'm gonna take that volunteer position for Trans youth mentorship!" At the support group, a girl with her head in her hands says "I feel so ugly all the time" Alex puts her hand on the girl's shoulder and says "hey... how do you think ugly Cis women feel?" Optimistcally she continues "They ain't got NO excuse." The other woman looks at her aghast. Alex returns home, taking off her overcoat and putting her hat on the hatrack. She says to her partner "the kids hated my advice. Clearly it's because they're too woke."

Mamdani going so hard for trans right and winning is some juicy proof that every dem that abandoned us didn’t do it for politically advantageous reasons. They did it because they’re transphobes and they will lose for it

Looks like X is juicing web visit numbers by opening a browser WebView in the background whether the user visits the link or not.

They've re-invented pop-under fraud (allegedly).

Tell HN: X is opening any tweet link in a webview whether you press it or not 247 points by stillatit 10 hours ago | hide | past | favorite | 200 comments Just saw the CEO of Substack celebrating traffic from X/Twitter shooting up thinking they stopped suppressing tweets with links[0]. Actually, this traffic is because now any time you open a tweet with a link, the in-app webview loads in the background, and displays when you press the link. I run an ecom store that gets a lot of its customers from Twitter. I was also shocked to see my traffic double or triple overnight and thought the algorithm had blessed me and my business. Soon realized what was actually happening. Thought other traffic-monitors might appreciate this explanation. Meanwhile Nikita Bier is pretending they never suppressed tweets with links to begin with, offering the alternative explanation: "a common complaint is that posts with links tend to get lower reach. This is because the web browser covers the post and people forget to Like or Reply. So X doesn't get a clear signal whether the content is any good"[1]. A bit of a rewriting of history since Elon and his mom both tweeted about how it wasn't fair to use his platform to promote other links/platforms, even banning people who shared profiles of other social networks (including Paul Graham for a period). They suppressed all links shortly after. [0] https://x.com/cjgbest/status/1985464687350485092 [1] https://x.com/nikitabier/status/1979994223224209709
