Hey dang, I don't think my blog is a repost. It links the Cloudflare announcement but the content is completely different (and actually funny). Is there any way you could restore it?
It's not that it's a repost; it's that it's mostly reporting on the content of another article. In such cases it's standard HN practice to prefer the latter, as the guidelines say (and have said since ancient times). It's not that you did anything wrong! and I'm sorry, I know it sucks to have an article doing well on the frontpage and then plummet for no obvious reason. But from a mod practice point of view this is a pretty clear call.
(OP of the Cloudflare blog & submission here) I think kixelated is saying enough stuff beyond our post that he deserves the credit for and this shouldn't be treated as a dupe. (emailed to say as much also)
I linked the URL to their relay but otherwise all of the libraries, demos, rants, jokes are my own. I can remove the link to their post if that would help, or I could get Cloudflare's blessing. It's just a bit frustrating.
What? did you check the source? he is the original guy.
The article is about a Cloudflare announcement. The original source in that case would be the Cloudflare announcement, no?
