Edit: since people seem to agree that this was the wrong move, I'm going to undo it.
Edit 2: undone now!
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.
What? did you check the source? he is the original guy.
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?
