Christ the moderation here really is bad sometimes. 404 are one of the only independent tech journals who are doing good reporting and what’s HN do? Ban them. Bravo guys.
Granted, everyone (including The Verge) has sporadic paywalls nowadays so that may need to be evaluated.
Banning journalism domains which use pay walls for some articles would make sense if consistent.
I can imagine no good reason to hide from a user a submission was rejected because the domain used pay walls for some articles.
