Is HN banning Twitter links?


I posted something newsworthy from OpenAI but noticed the post doesn't have the "discuss" button. This typically happens when a website is banned on HN (like dev.to and many others).

Is twitter added to that list?

It doesn't look like it's hidden or dead or anything. The discuss link works fine: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38660621

Plenty of Twitter submissions https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=twitter.com

In comments, those stories that make it to the frontpage, I notice that more users object twitter submissions because without an account you might be locked out or in case of a thread not be able to see the follow-ups. Though nitter as work-around still works.

Anyway, not sure what's going on with this particular submission, I clicked 'vouch' now.
