The racially segregated bluesky will definitely solve some problems, agreed

Anybody can sign up for Blacksky.

And yet its full of black supremacy / afrocentrism.

And plenty of people people posting racist stuff about White and Asian people.

It's no better than Twitter or 4chan at this point.

Shows that it's a great archival service if the most censored people are able to use it without their archives being censored.

No it doesn't. You can just request content be removed from Archive.org and they will honor this: https://help.archive.org/help/how-do-i-request-to-remove-som...

Nonstarter for anything that you actually want to be preserved, especially anything controversial.

chrisjj · 2026-02-21T09:45:35 1771667135

No request is needed. Just robots.txt to deliver a bulk removal.

Some people love giving up as much customization and control over their software as possible. iOS over Android. MacOS over Linux. Chrome over Firefox. App stores over installing programs yourself. Apps over websites.

There are various arguments for it (better compatibility/cohesiveness, minimalism, less debugging) but it overall seems like the opposite of the "hacker" mindset which makes how much market share MacOS has in the space very strange.

That’s not really fair in the case of a third-party app like this one. Swapping out the website’s default UI for an app is customization.

snigsnog · 2026-02-21T22:30:29 1771713029

You can swap out the website’s default UI in a browser and preserve the innate customization power you get from being in a browser.

Meh. I use a native app to access HN (NetNewsWire), and this apps launches the browser for things I want to read and/or for comments.

IMHO your comment is unfair. Native apps really are, when done right, much better. Sadly they are rarely done right.

Yeah you can't directly alter scripts being ran (as far as I know?) but you can usually override/extend behavior and can definitely add your own

I'm aware of plugins. But these used to be builtin features. Developers needed to work with them, rather than making it harder and harder to use them to make the users life easiee.

Even so you can still just request your site to be removed: https://help.archive.org/help/how-do-i-request-to-remove-som...
