This is enough to make me never touch Asahi Linux. What a childish game for a Linux distro?
How dare someone link to their website without their approval...because that is totally how the internet works?? ffs.

I mean, he definitely needs to look in the mirror.
edit: strange, it works perfectly for me.
But again, I guess you really didn't understand that he was just lamenting the lax moderation for the threads about Asahi.
Paywalled articles are posted here everyday
Why not respect the site owners wishes ?
What if the site wasn't accessible to people who had been to the Washington Post or Fox News because Asahi didn't like those people as a blanket rule too? It is the exact same principle. I don't think you ever need to respect people that are actively trying to exclude you.
That's not how it works. If you want to copy the URL into a new tab, you can still access the site. They just don't want to make it easy for people to click on the link from HN to their site.
It's a super trivial thing to avoid and this whole thing could be avoided entirely by allowing sites to submit their domains to HN if they don't want to show up on the front page.
Edit (quoted context):
> Respect that Asahi thinks people like you and me, because we dare to get tech news from Hacker News, deserve to be excluded?
Yes! - I can’t vouch for anyone here, but me
> What if the site wasn't accessible to people who had been to the Washington Post or Fox News because Asahi didn't like those people as a blanket rule too?
Yes!
> I don't think you ever need to respect people that are actively trying to exclude you.
I don’t care, don’t take it personally. I’d be concerned about Asahi’s actions if I was a member of that community
I’m concerned HN being a part of chicken-shit tech games
"Why not respect the site owners wishes ? "
The answer, overwhelmingly with the HN demographic, is "because we don't HAVE to."
