Ah the GitLab astroturfers are here

• reificator 7y ago
  I mean, I use gitlab, gitea, github, and bitbucket all fairly regularly for different projects, and I haven't seen anything out of the gitlab posts here that I think is wrong. People disagreeing with you and/or opposing the free offerings of a company known for embrace/extend/extinguish does not mean they're astroturfing.

    They spam every GitHub post with “I use gitlab” regardless of the content.

  Lots of github employees on this site. It's ok, you just work there. No need to get angry.

    This breaks the site guidelines, which ask you not to insinuate of astroturfing, and not to feed egregious comments by replying. Also, please don't cross into personal attack. That's bad and not allowed here either. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

  Slinging accusations of astroturfing is against the rules here. Please don't. Also, while I have you, could you please stop creating accounts for every few comments you post? We ban accounts that do that. This is in the site guidelines too: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. You needn't use your real name, of course, but for HN to be a community, users need some identity for others to relate to. Otherwise we may as well have no usernames and no community, and that would be a different kind of forum. https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comment&storyText=false&prefix&page=0&query=by:dang%20community%20identity https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme...
