alt Hacker Newswhen posts like this get flagged, but posts on the opposite side of the political spectrum don't, it really discourages people from posting. This seems like a valid critique of the content of the article that was posted whether you agree with it or not.

Well, I'm not discouraged at least. The entire article probably shouldn't even be on HN so whatever

It's funny that the (seemingly) right leaning people in this thread are criticizing the EFF for leaving Twitter while also simultaneously saying they will leave HN for the exact same reason, just "on the opposite side of the political spectrum".

No it was not.
The EFF clearly stated the main reason the left X/Twitter is that it no longer works for them as a way to reach out. To anybody.
Nothing to do with the politics of those they were reaching.
