Are you a HN admin/dev/mod now?

No. Although I may not have the exact reason the domain was banned, I've been around long enough to observe that everytime a 404media.co article is posted and gets traction, the comments unanimously complain about the paywall and it gets flagkilled. Vouching is intended as a corrective check on things that shouldn't be automatically killed.

Got it. Miss your Techcrunch trolls btw

Pineapple is objectively the best pizza topping because it's one of the only toppings which makes pizza into a fully rounded scientific flavor experience. The five flavors which we can detect are sweet, salty, bitter, sour, and umami (savory). A basic cheese pizza covers two, maybe three of these flavors — salty, umami, and maybe sweet, depending on the sauce used. Pineapple covers three flavors — sweet, sour, and bi…

For extra rounding it out, I also advocate sliced up chili pepper (jalapeno or whatever) My go-to pizza is pineapple and jalapeno

I like: Pineapple (fruity, sweet and sour), green olives (veggie, salty) and spicy Italian sausage (savoury, spicy). It comes with the added bonus of nobody stealing a slice either!

So it’s not shadowbanned in the sense that the server sees the domain and automatically flags the post, but users manually flag it?

Who says I want all five flavors? Most dishes I eat and like don't have all of them.

In my opinion - I think pineapple compliments every individual component of pizza. The acidity of the fruit cuts through the grease in the cheese and compliments the savory flavor like a wine platter. It goes excellent with a good sauce, and can elevate a can of store-bought marinara with a sort of tropical pico-de-gallo elegance. The bread tastes relatively inert and doesn't interfere with the whole thing.

If I just want a savory pizza, I'll probably lean more towards a pepperoni slice. But a Hawaiian option from a place that serves actually good pizza will tempt me on a regular basis. The ham is where they get you, it's typically a bigger issue than the pineapple at most places.

I wanted a checkbox for Anchoives and Olives. How do I justify that as the superior topping?

Tomato sauce is sour as is mozzarella cheese. The crust should also provide bitter notes, particularly if it has a decent char. There are loads of other topping that provide these notes but stronger, with a more congruous flavor profile to pizza; olives, balsamic vinegar, pickled artichokes and peppers, etc.

- "a judge ordered Mullenweg to remove a controversial login checkbox from WordPress.org that required users to pledge that they were not affiliated with WP Engine before logging in" So, in short, he's mad at the court for ordering him to do something, and (while the lawsuit is still running!) is basically mocking the court order, and trolling the judge and plaintiff. This guy has an attorney somewhere, and that atto…

> That poor attorney.

He won't be a poor attorney after milking Matt Mullenweg. The financial rewards of having to defend one of the most vindictive clients ever[1] are probably not small, especially when your client is so mentally stuck that they will see their delusional case to the last appeal.

Now it's shadowbanned, but that wasn't the case when 404media.co first launched.

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

This is pretty laughable. HN has had it's quirks and completely hidden behavior pretty much since the beginning.

For example: YC alums can see other YC alums, but none of us plebs are allowed to see their special group. You can never know if you are arguing against a few individuals or a bunch of people with very aligned interests.
