- da39a3ee 3y agoHow is anyone supposed to know this etiquette rule that you claim? As far as I know people are free to link to whatever they like subject to the laws of relevant jurisdictions. For my part I would say that you shouldn't police other people and tell them what to do in public, or if you do it, soften it sightly.
- throw10920 3y agoYou're not supposed to know it, unless someone tells you - that's what I'm doing. I completely agree that "don't link to my site" is a ridiculous request - I'm not saying that I approve of it. But it's what they want - and the Asahi project has numerous problems with it anyway, so avoiding drawing attention from HN has some benefits to everyone. My apologies if it sounded like I was policing - that was not my intent.

- TimTheTinker 3y agoIf you think it's a ridiculous request to not link to them, then why did you say I shouldn't link to them in the first place? I reject the notion that I shouldn't link to someone in good faith, regardless of whether they like it.
- throw10920 3y agoI said that you shouldn't because Marcan is a toxic and abrasive individual, and so not linking to him or the Asahi Linux project is beneficial. > I reject the notion that I shouldn't link to someone in good faith, regardless of whether they like it. In general, I completely agree!
