Why is this such a popular tweet? What happened?

This is a direct shot at HN's opaque, centralized, YC-controlled structure. I think the author has a lot credibility, that’s why it’s taken seriously.

YC has financial interests in many of the companies and topics being discussed and there’s a single moderator team with no accountability.

Anyway no need to build it, it’s already there 🥝✨ come to Kiwi :)

Yeah I learned after submitting that the tweet author is the creator of redis, so that‘s why he‘s got that much attention probably
