Anyone got an Xcancel link? Oh wait...

Not a great look, YC.

Is there an official Bluesky or Mastodon? Especially after the Nitter cease-and-desist, I have run out of patience for Musk's propaganda machine.

I know there are HN bots pulling stories to Mastodon but I don't think there's an official instance.

Xcancel shut down after mostly being promoted on HN and now HN makes an official account there?

Hacker News is just trying to light a candle in the darkness.

Of a gasoline station.

Not to be too Elon like terse but:

Presumably because it advances the goals of Hacker News and perhaps YCombinator.
