I don't mean to discourage you, and it's great that you've gotten that support; but I don't understand what purpose this serves. I had understood that Nitter exists exactly because of the forces that would make X leadership tend not to like its existence. HN is already not trying to sell things or make the interface obnoxious for logged-out users, and it makes very responsible use of JavaScript; what is there to filter out?

No discouragement taken :) Thanks for the question.

Some people have asked for a "No AI" version of HN. That's one possibility.

Another possibility is to just stop cloning comments, so that only the articles are mirrored, and then launch the site. There would be few comments, but that might be a feature. I sometimes miss when HN was small.

A third is to AI-generate the comments. That way it's like https://reddit.com/r/subsimulatorgpt2.
