Sabotaging incoming traffic from a specific source with an audience that's generally very excited about your work is just lame. Especially so when you consider their problem with HN seems to be with the way it's being managed rather than its visitors.
Not very welcoming, helpful, considerate, or respectful at all. https://asahilinux.org/code-of-conduct/ https://asahilinux.org/code-of-conduct/
In response to @anlaw below: The golden rule "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

- eesmith 3y agoThe golden rule isn't so simple when different people have different ideas of what people would have. For example, if the HN mods think they '[host] harassment and abuse that goes unchecked' they may actually want the HN mods to not allow referrals from them. Or, from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Rule#Differences_in_values_or_interests https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Rule#Differences_in_val... : "George Bernard Shaw wrote, "Do not do unto others as you would that they should do unto you. Their tastes may not be the same."[95] This suggests that if your values are not shared with others, the way you want to be treated will not be the way they want to be treated." Reading even further in the Wikipedia article, you'll see '"doing as you would be done by" includes taking into account your neighbour's tastes as you would that he should take yours into account'. Using technical measures to avoid someone's block would see, under that reading of the golden rule, seem to break the golden rule. On a related topic, why do so many faiths have something like the golden rule, while also being male patriarchies where women are treated differently from men? Placing cultural restrictions on a woman that aren't place on a man would seem to fundamentally contrary to the golden rule.
- krono 3y agoA very interesting take that is entirely new to me and which I'm going to need some time to think about. For context, the specific part of the comment (that is now hidden and inaccessible) that I responded to with my Golden Rule edit boiled down to: If other websites don't hold themselves to the Asahi code of conduct, why shouldn't the Asahi website be allowed to break them too?
- slikrick 3y agoit's way more lame to condone a site that lets harassment go by unabated. Asahi developers have emailed HN moderators and nothing has happened. The only responses are grandstanding points from moderators that pretend like they haven't been reached out to. I would absolutely block traffic from a site like HN in that situation as well.
