I believe that's the HN application itself, not a WAF in front of it.

HN is surprisingly very very guilty of a whole lot of anti-user patterns and behaviour that other companies get regularly lamented.
Poor accessibility, bad mobile support, no options to delete content beyond a narrow window.
Good.
hurfdurf says it is okay to keep material online forever. It is easy to say that when you publish as hurfdurf.
I think you just described most of the reason I like it. Plain text sites tend to scale text, allow pinch to zoom, and are just generally faster.
Post deletion we've seen used for manipulation on other sites, it's a sticky topic. HN seems to want you to stand by your word, so it makes sense here.
Good.
If Bad Mobile support is good why does your own website handles mobile differently?
Why is that good?

Good.
HN accessibility isn't bad, since it's all just text.
