No, sorry. It's just polling HN via the Agolia API, so if you post on HN publicly, anyone can poll for that data.


Is there anything preventing you from adding an opt-out feature?

Yes, anyone can poll, but releasing a product that polls puts the onus on the product to honor the spirit of the site.

I come here because the site doesn’t have all of the usual social media features, which is arguably part of how/why the community is still an interesting place to visit.
