Ask HN: Has Hacker News banned posts about Twitter?

2 points by century19 ↗ HN
If I search I see no new submissions over the last few days with the search word "Twitter". Before that there were many every day.

No. I've seen several this very morning.

eta:... including a submission of a post by Elon Musk.

I think they're simply generally very low quality/low effort submissions that sink to the bottom of the "new" page fast.

Shit, I wish.

If you click through the previous pages ("more" link at bottom of page) you'll still find plenty. Though I don't know why the search isn't returning those results.

Maybe record more data points and get back to us. As a Twitter user myself - I would not care about Twitter news being filtered on HN.

Twitter shows me enough Elon Musk, despite my admiration of the man, and my repeated "Don't Care about this Account" attempts

I don't think there is anything particularly interesting around so it would raise up.

I currently see no results if I filter posts from the last 24h for any term. Maybe something with the search is broken?

1. Algolia is having an issue, so HN search isn't showing new results (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33790811)

2. Users seem to be flagging Twitter related posts (presumably because they're tired of hearing about it)

3. Flagged posts don't show up in Algolia search
