Interesting how many green accounts are in this thread describing the same problem with the exact same typing style. All of them made within the last two hours.

View on HN

People using throwaways, because they don't want to connect their HN identity to their TG identity?

Those people should at least bother to learn HN rules then, because some of these comments are... yeesh.

That said, how mad can you be about some username that you'd sign up for an extra account just to complain?

They may also just be new here, spreading news to HN

Then my advice about sticking to a dignified tone and knowing the rules still applies. Happy to have more people sharing but there's a reason HN isn't the same vibe as Reddit.

And there's also a reason lobsters isn't the same vibe as HN.

What's the vibe of Lobster?

as far as I can tell it's supposed to be basically a clone of HN (it has many of the same posts as well), but more exclusive (invite only) and more strict moderation with all of the moderator actions logged publicly.

Certainly

Almost certainly it's a cybersquatter upset his cache of squatted names is being seized and is attempting to manufacture dissent. Recommend the site owner look at IPs and see how many HN accounts he has as well and flush those, too.

I'm one of the guy in charge of https://kissfm.md and the channel @kissfm was waiting to be integrated with this site. So tell me more about your certainty!
