hn-search VS nitter

not sure. I searched comments: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=pastYear&page=0&prefix=fal...

Most recent are more culture wars stuff but some earlier ones appear to suggesting a degree of alignment with the USA government.

This is a topic that has come up a ton on HN, in submitted articles[1] and practically once a day in comments[2]

Many stories related to the ongoing famine and genocide in Gaza are tech-related: tech companies big and small are enabling Israel's military action in Gaza and in some cases directly supporting the occupation and genocide. The injustices of the real world are often played out again in cyber space, what some people have called a "digital apartheid".

This week, both Google and Amazon employees protested their company's involvement in this, and the stories relating to this were immediately removed from Hacker News front page. Why?

Why is HN flagging anything related to this topic?

Here some of the previpus submissions, with lots of comments.

Sorry for the offtopicness, but trollish usernames aren't allowed on HN, so we've banned this account.

If you want to pick a different username, we can rename it for you and unban the account, as long as the username is genuinely neutral.

Lazier than you think! You almost nerdsniped me into seeing how fast I could whip up a crawler but then I checked the search and found out it can find comments and use a custom date range.

We really do love pudding.cool[1]- I'd never bothered to go look at what it's actually all about till today, and you should too if you've not, because it wasn't exactly as I expected: https://pudding.cool/about/

Is this post showing a bug in HN? It says it was posted 10 hours ago, but Algolia says it was posted 2 days ago

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=pastWeek&page=0&prefix=tru...

And mehulashah's comment that the thread claims was posted 7 hours ago was also posted two days ago, according to Algolia

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=pastWeek&page=0&prefix=tru...

From https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu... it looks likethere are like 5 or 6 post per year.

hey hn, supabase ceo her

we just announced GA, after ~4 years of beta. for those who don't know: supabase is a postgres hosting company. we also host other open source "backend" tools that make it easy to get started with postgres (tools like PostgREST for auto-generate APIs [0])

we owe a lot to the HN community. you launched us 4 years ago [1], when we were just a few developers. since then HN has been a staple in our journey, one of the best sources of product feedback [2]

the GA badge is mostly to signify organizational readiness. we're at a stage where we can take any profile of customer. we have a support team that works 24/7, and a success team that will help customers improve their postgres usage. we released our Index Advisor [3] yesterday, and we'll be releasing a few more products this week that helps customer with performance and security.

on a personal note: i read HN most days, and love going through the ShowHN's to see what devs are building. thanks for being an awesome community and my favorite place to lurk on the internet. i'll stick around to answer any questions

Don't use Youtube without going through a proxy like Invidious [1] or Newpipe

Don't use {site} Search without going through a proxy like SearxNG [2]

Don't use TwiXXer without going through a proxy like Nitter - this has gotten more difficult lately but it still works as long as you feed the daemon some registered accounts. Video does not work at the moment but that seems to be fixable.

Don't use Reddit without going through a proxy like libreddit [4]

Start noticing the pattern? Maybe it is time to start producing promotional posters:

The only thing to come between you and ADS could be a proxy / ADS. I'ts just not worth the risk

ADS / New rules for a sane net / Sane net protects you, your partner and your community

A proxy here and a filter there, ADS nowhere

The more you tighten your grip, ${site}, the more viewers will slip through your fingers

(bit of trial and error from https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/wiki/Instances)

I assume this is why Nitter got slammed and is on the verge of breaking.

The creator of the project left this comment an hour ago:

https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/issues/1155#issuecomment-19...

(HN removed the deep link to the specific comment from the title)

Most of the time you can just replace twitter.com with nitter.net or nitter.it but when these instances are down or blocked you can use other instances listed here: https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/wiki/Instances

But as the other commenter said Libredirect is the way to go: https://libredirect.github.io/

Use a Youtube proxy like Invidious [1], problem solved and you get to subscribe to channels without telling the Beast about your interests. Add Sponsorblock (which supports Invidious) to get rid of any in-stream advertising which remains and you'll be transported back to those hallowed times of yore when men were men, women were women and advertising was something you found in newspapers. Youtube will try to make this harder just like Xitter is trying to make it harder to use proxies like Nitter [2].

njal.la restored nitter.net, and replied with their reasons: https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/issues/1150#issuecomment-18...

tbh I can totally understand why they acted this way.
