I wouldn't be too worried. I was a lurker for a long time before joining but it seems like there's an annual, if not bi-annual, flood from reddit or other sites that gets shut down because low effort comments and F-tier jokes/memes/puns get no engagement, removed, or downvoted to oblivion.
Eternal March here we come

I'm old enough to remember it. And young enough to have been one of those eternal Septemberers. =)
me too!
I'm getting a bit older and my memory might not serve me very well, but it used to be Eternal September, right?
Yes, your recall matches mine.
Also, try the page

yeah but HN version is going to happen on March...at least that was the point of my joke
Why would it be March for HN? End of the Japanese fiscal year?
Just because it's about to be March right now, I think was the intention there.
You're sweet, and we appreciate being a known secret, but I hardly worry about swathes of ffmpeg 6.0 nerds joining the community. Indeed they might be a welcome addition.
