I've been noticing a lot of Christians on HN lately. I'm not saying it's a coordinated effort, but I've seen more in the past 2 weeks than I've seen in the past decade.

View on HN

IMO, there's been a bit of a tonal shift on HN since the last reddit "crisis". Possibly related.

I came here from that event, but I’m your stereotypical left-wing atheist redditor. I guess the site is pretty heavily sectioned off, but I assumed that was the bulk of us.

Editing to add: this site has been so much better for my mental health. Still plenty of bad news about the environment and large corporations, etc. but I focus less on it, and much more on topics that rekindle my passion for science and technology.

If you've had an account for a decade, why are you using one that is 13 days old (ie the past two weeks)?

I usually lurk, then make an account with a random password if the urge to comment comes upon me. I'll use the account until I clear my cookies and repeat the whole process. Part of this is to dodge textual analysis by ML, part of it is because I don't like feeling too attached.
