The not needing an account is obviously not minor, but honestly, the UI is just better, by a lot. I made a twitter account a while ago using one of those throw away email address sites, so I have an account that I don't care about that I can use for twitter....but the experience just sucks. I don't know how any stands it, even if they don't mind needing an account.

Any user scripts that automatically redirect to a working instance?

We could stop thinking of them as walled gardens we're trying to get into and start thinking of them as quarantines for the Eternal September population.

> quarantines for the Eternal September population
Hacker News actually has a way to do this quarantine, a version that only counts votes from accounts created before 2008: https://news.ycombinator.com/classic. About a decade after Eternal September started, but not bad.

Decade and a half, really. Eternal September was 1993 or 1994, right?

FWiW as an aside, it appears to count votes from December 2008 accounts (as just tested using this 2008-12-26 account).
So that's at least strictly before 2009.

Awesome. Let's all start using this on HN so we end up with a bunch of broken links in a few years

They would become links with only a wrong domain, so I am not very worried about that personally.

Who cares, by that time the originals and their copies would be a lot less worthy of viewing.
