What's going on with the title? Looks like a mix of Japanese and Chinese but with some weird formatting errors... could just be gibberish?

Seeing this too on iOS. Is this a bug?

  It's got me a little skeeved out. Maybe I shouldn't have clicked the link.

    The author changed it a few times (first to "--" then to "--ARTICLE DELETED--"), I guess because you can edit titles but not delete submissions? I flagged the submission since that seems to be the only real way to do this.

It is now Japanese and Chinese spam. https://news-ycombinator-com.translate.goog/item?id=29719839&_x_tr_sl=ja&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US https://news-ycombinator-com.translate.goog/item?id=29719839...

I did this deliberately mainly so it doesn't get a lot of attention. I wrote this article when I was angry, but later felt sorry for it so that's why I renamed it to a mix of Chinese and Japanese, so the algorithms move it down. I don't speak Chinese or Japanese.

  I think you can mail the HN mod team and they can hide it

That isn't how the algorithms work for front page. Naming it something like this that does show up on the front page only attracts more attention to it as people go "WTF is that?!" as it is unusual and then go and click on it.

  You don't happen to be this Seattle OPNsense user running Tor on Centurylink fiber, do you? https://www.dslreports.com/forum/r33265819-Qwest-I-get-latency-spikes-on-Fiber-24-7-will-capacity-managers-act https://www.dslreports.com/forum/r33265819-Qwest-I-get-laten... https://www.dslreports.com/forum/r33246909-Qwest-Website-CenturyLink-Fiber-Quantum-Fiber-Latency-Spikes-in-Seattle https://www.dslreports.com/forum/r33246909-Qwest-Website-Cen... Centurylink is not a fast moving, nimble organization where most employees are team players. They are a legacy telecom provider that is an amalgamation of decades old systems held together with baling wire and the halfhearted effort of many employees, rocking the boat can backfire on you badly with them. If your willing to put up with the process (gears turn slowly in Lumen/Centurylink land) issues like this can get resolved, but if you want more responsive service at comically low prices your going to need to move to Ziply territory north of Seattle.
