> I was told it was posted in reply to an account that a lot of people called out as a potential state actor spreading misleading information. [...] Sidenote: i really appreciate people pointing out the potentially malicious account in the comments. With that in mind, below is the modified copy of my original comment. Hard to not take this personal since this is literally about me. However, I don't see the thread containing "a lot of people calling out a potential state actor", I only see one user making that accusation twice in the thread you speak of (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30582330 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30582330) For what it's worth, I left you a comment that can help you to keep in contact with your dad. I agree with the general idea that general skepticism should be applied everywhere on the internet, but you shouldn't also rush to conclusions and believe that because one user wrote something many times, that makes it more true.
