Would love to hear from HN on why such an otherwise incredible popular site is so often blacklisted or censored vs what is allowed. Why not let users vote instead like other news? Or if truly not being censored bring receipts on what’s happening?

It's not being blacklisted or censored (see other comment with link to submissions).

My suspicion: it's not relevant to the HN audience. DF is opinion pieces (mostly) about Apple. While I'm sure many DF readers use some Apple device(s), I suspect many (most?) DF readers do not care about "inside baseball"[0] for Apple.

This is it for me. I've been using macs since 1985 (!) but I just don't think that blog is very interesting. From what I've seen, you're right that it's mostly Apple "inside baseball" and I just don't care.
