Or just setup Redirector* to automatically redirect you to xcancel (and old.reddit.com, and away from whatever other hostile websites there are these days...)
HN’s policy is that one should submit the original link, hence providing a more accessible but not original link as a comment is the correct thing to do.
To add a bit to what layer8 correctly said: it's also for displaying the original provenance of the article (i.e. the domain it came from), and for making the /from pages that list submissions from a domain work properly. That may not matter when there's just one:
I clicked the twitter link. Perhaps because I don’t have an account, I don’t see any Community Notes nor can I read any other posts in the thread, so no point in using the “official” link.
And it’s not like Community Notes will remain reliable.
Because it is a pending note. Which often already are extremely relevant. Many see these as prominently as other CN's as becoming a "Community Noter" is not too hard.
>And it’s not like Community Notes will remain reliable.
That's as useless like saying your house might burn down in the next hour so might as well not go inside during a storm. CN's are the best weapon we have against misinformation given they require consensus from people that have disagreed in the past. Track record of CN's is unbeatable. They sure as hell are better than the abuse of flagging my factual parent comment on HN. Shame on whoever did that, but a honor system clearly isn't enough, sadly not even on HN.
No, it’s not like that in the slightest. Read the link, my comments was within its context, not made in a vaccumm. The point is precisely that one person, the owner of the platform, wants to change Community Notes to agree with his own opinions and world view.
You clearly do not understand how Community Notes work given you're talking of "how one person wants to change them".
Good thing is that no single person can change them. Their data and source code is open. So your point is nothing but some anti-Elon propaganda basically.
