Thanks for sharing this story! I think it can help others choose the right way for them to host their articles. I was myself deciding 3-4 months ago between Hashnode.dev and Dev.to

I'm happy about my decision :)

I wish you all the best in your blogging!

Thanks, but Hashnode also shadowbanned the same article I crossposted, so self-hosted is king.

I didn't read that from your article, you keep mentioning the dev.to

[Kamil Gierach-Pacanek](https://hashnode.com/@Asentinn) yes, because Hashnode will get a separate post
