what's up with all these .christmas domains appearing high on HN listings?
there appear to be accounts dedicated to posting from javascript.christmas, java.christmas, and functional.christmas , all of the same style/format/etc.
the only posts they submit are from those domains. is this a coordinated boosting effort?
functional.christmas => https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=bendiksolheim https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=bendiksolheim
javascript.christmas => https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=ewendel https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=ewendel

Is there a rule against authors posting their own content? It's not some grand conspiracy, it's just an christmas campaign by a company that has asked their employees to write about topics that interest them, and those articles are shared during advent. On the 25th it'll presumably go quiet again until December 1st 2020.
