Did DF ever allow comments on its own website? I vaguely remember gruber once saying: “If you want to comment on my blog, write your own blog.”

> What bothers me is that it’s unexplained. Which, ultimately, seems not so much censorial as just cowardly.

Huh.

For posterity, here's a spreadsheet of all Daring Fireball submissions to HN, sorted chronologically: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1A7ljmWbHtFsB4VRJ1Q0d...

From first glance there's still some decent traffic on Daring Fireball submissions, even inside the times Gruber asserts deadweighting.

Would love to hear from HN on why such an otherwise incredible popular site is so often blacklisted or censored vs what is allowed. Why not let users vote instead like other news? Or if truly not being censored bring receipts on what’s happening?

Blacklisted and censored?

See: 120 submission in the past 12 months- https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=daringfireball.net&ki...

multiple submissions with > 100 points.

eg:

* Publishing AI Slop Is a Choice (daringfireball.net) 167 points by mpweiher 10 months ago | past | 76 comments

* Why can't we screenshot frames from DRM-protected video on Apple devices? (daringfireball.net) 173 points by ingve 25 days ago | past | 217 comments

Not that I'm aware. There's some discussion about it in this post from 2010:
