2019 and I don't remember how. I don't even do anything computer related, but I'm interested in it. I remember seeing the design of the forum and imidiatly fell in love with it.
I see you had to create a new account though... If it's okay to ask, what happened to the last one?
There is a bullet point in the guidelines about exactly that. It's not desired behaivor. But I don't feel bad about it, because I don't intend to misuse it.
Kind of related: I'm worried about the new language recognition tools of today and tomorrow. Last time I've seen a post about HN users, they needed 10k (?) words from an account to make a connection between accounts.

And highly appreciate you sharing this.
I never really thought it through with this perspective. And yes, it's kinda concerning.
Needless to say, this takes something away from the communication. A sacrifice I might be willing to make. Idk yet
