Intentional or not... you pretty much agree with jwz: https://anonym.to/?https://www.jwz.org/doc/cadt.html (https://www.jwz.org/doc/cadt.html - jwz has some nasty opinion about hn visitors - so the first link omits the referer)

I prefer to just not go. If he doesn't want the likes of me there then I'm happy not to waste effort trying to pay attention to whatever it is he is saying.

It did not omit the referrer for me.

This might help in the future if you use Firefox: https://feeding.cloud.geek.nz/posts/tweaking-referrer-for-pr...

A quite safe value from there is

  network.http.referer.XOriginPolicy = 1
which will not send a referrer to third party domains outside of the base domain.
