See how long this lasts, got flagged [dead] immediately several times in the new queue, for some reason.

404media.co is a shadowbanned domain on HN due to paywalls, meaning any new submission from the domain will automatically be killed. https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=404media.co (w/ showdead on)

Since this post doesn't have a paywall and it's good/newsworthy, I vouched for it.

There's not really much news here, I think. It's just gossiping at Matt's public meltdown, which, eh.

Matt continues to make me feel like I made a good choice exiting the WP ecosystem last month.

I've never understood the hatred towards pineapple on pizza. I like it. I can certainly think of much weirder things I've seen on pizza with no public outcry.

For context, this is revenge to a court forcing him by injunction to remove the previous version of the checkbox (which required stating you are not affiliated with, or using, WP Engine).

I don't get it. I have no qualms lying or otherwise.

A substantial portion of the links on this site have paywalls. If that’s why this domain is shadowbanned, why isn’t NYT?
