It's worth noting that it's a shadowbanned domain on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=dev.to

Jesus, what a clusterfuck. It’s spam.

Where do you see this?

If you have over a small threshold of HN karma, you can enable "showdead" in your account settings.

dev.to submissions will appear as dead by default in the "New" queue. These may be vouched, though truth to tell, I don't bother.

"Dead" submissions won't appear in Algolia search.

Clarification: Showdead should be available to any account.

Vouching does require a small karma threshold.

Thank you. I just enabled it and now I can see what the parent post was talking about.

You can ask HN moderators. There is no public list.

dev.to is also shadow banned on most developer subreddits and other news aggregators I know of.

Wow, any explanation from the HN mods why this happens?

[stingraycharles]

HN is well known to have very “proactive” moderation, and as such kill low quality articles. As explained in this whole comment section, dev.to is almost entirely low-quality articles, and as such it’s not unexpected for HN to ban the site altogether.

I wish they would add Twitter to this list. Every tweet or "tweet thread" that's been posted has been incomprehensible to read and navigate beyond the actual title or first tweet.

I feel like most people in this thread have been explaining why

[aaaaaaaaaaab]

Thankfully!
