Thank you, I thought I was first, I even searched for other posts, evidently not well enough.

<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=49481018">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=49481018</a> (9 comments at the moment)

My understanding is that HN views these as equivalent.&lt;<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=40920852">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=40920852</a>&gt;

I agree with banning them, but it&#x27;s not really a paywall, it&#x27;s an account wall, isn&#x27;t it?

I&#x27;ve emailed HN&#x27;s mods requesting Twitter&#x2F;X links be site-banned as hard-paywalled, given that Nitter and XCancel had also just received C&amp;Ds (&lt;<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=49437283">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=49437283</a>&gt;).
