Their latest company announcement saying that "focusing on blogging was a mistake" also doesn't inspire confidence
Well, the original quote is:
> Hashnode started with forums. Discussions were how this community began. We discontinued them years ago to focus on blogging. That turned out to be the wrong call.
Focus is on "discontinuing forums". But yeah, the framing gave me a chuckle.
Still reads as if the blogging part they feel bad about.
The platform got a rep for blog spam instead of being a medium competitor, which sucks because Hashnode has really good inline code syntax highlighting (why I picked them).
Unfortunately I can't submit and of my blog posts to HN because the entire domain is blacklisted... :/
