It's absolutely super gross to selectively apply noreferer to links only to Asahi Linux or JWZ's blog, because it's obvious you're doing it specifically to spite the people running those sites. If you applied it to every link, that might be different. I mean, the receipts are still out there, people still know what's up. But at least you're not being openly prejudicial.

As far as the thread goes, the author sounds as though they are a child throwing a tantrum. In the original OpenGL thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36212674 there seems to be some discussion as to why the author hates HN, i.e. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36229753 quoted here: > It's not really all that much of a moral conundrum. Marcan's belief - expressed a number of times on his Mastodon - appea…
You can't just claim that without knowing the context. Also I think, if some website doesn't want you to link to it, and politely redirects you. You shouldn't deploy code evade referrer for that site particularly. C'mon we aren't talking about using a VPN to evade a region block, it's one website abusing their referrer tags against another.

Oh, about the main developer being a vtuber? I can imagine people being shitty about that, but I always read through the Asahi posts when I see them and I've yet to see it come up here.
Not just being a vtuber, but outing them as an alter ego of marcan. Not exactly the nicest thing to do on HN's part (and I'm probably complicit by posting this comment), but also the information is already "out there" and blocking HN to keep it under wraps isn't a great strategy.
One way or the other I'm going to continue not caring who Asahi Lina is.
Hacker News has every right to include noreferrer in its links. The destination site was playing games based on the HN origin, so dang just fixed the bug.
They don't want the HN crowd there because it brings abuse & harassment. If Dang instead would block the domain, everyone would be happy.

Please don't cross into personal attack and please don't do internet psychiatric diagnosis on HN. It only makes things worse.

Oh no, another HN conspiracy!!! Not everything needs to be a conspiracy when some of us are sick of other people's nonsense.
not a conspiracy, HN mods routinely delete stuff they don't personally like even when it doesn't go against the rules

It's against the guidelines to point out moderation decisions. But it's relevant to the point I'm making. This is a thoughtful, carefully-worded argument that has been repeatedly upvoted and downvoted (the downvotes seem to come in pairs -- admin action?) The moderation of this comment allows anonymous people, lurking in the shadows, to make decisions about what other people read, with no accountability or consequenc…

Well I’m still wondering how they are showing a text only to people who submitted something to HN and nobody seems to know either in the thread so at least there’s that…
It uses a CSS rule that checks if you have visited the link to submit on hacker news. https://social.treehouse.systems/@marcan/110503368406970051

You have no business being on the internet if you don't want to be linked to. I can't believe I have to type this out..
Asahi doesn't want attention from HN. It's a small project about hardware that most HN commenters seem to hold in contempt anyway. Why not just honor the request?
