I believe the Herman in question is the owner/operator of the blog hosting provider that this blog is on[1].

(I was also very confused by this, until I saw the footer and clicked on it.)

Thank you, I didn’t understand this either.

So am I right to take away from this that the blog is complaining about Bear Blog (about which I know nothing, is it just hosting, a framework, or does it have a front page like HN somewhere?) hosting too many posts that are optimized for HN? It’s not a complain about HN itself, which by implication cannot be saved?

Edit: as pointed out in another post, they actually do have an aggregation page which is pretty cool: https://bearblog.dev/discover/ TBD how correlated it is with HN
