More like 'related'.

That's a statement from the PSF.

This is a personal blog post of one of its board members.

That's right, but the test we use is "are two articles different enough to support a substantively different discussion". In this case the answer is clearly no, so they fall in the same equivalence class.

(We'll put a link to https://simonwillison.net/2025/Oct/27/psf-withdrawn-proposal... in the toptext of the other post though)

We do that all the time, of course—just not enough to satisfy those who would like (a lot) more. But we have the rest of the community to think about as well.

Do you have any data on what tends to get inappropriately flagged?

I'm not sure if it would be productive to share such information, but can't help being curious about it.

I can't really answer that because it's not clear what "inappropriately" means. Everyone seems to have a different definition!
