There’s nothing wrong with this. People are always coming up with HN for this or that.

  If a long standing member would do this, fine. But a novelty account whose first action is to try to fork the community is wrong in my opinion. And I'm fine with you disagreeing with that.

    There are people reading HN for a decade but with fresh accounts, like myself. Never bothered to register until I started a DNS project that I may eventually publish here to get some feedback. This "elitism" judgement will do no good in the long run, just saying.

    Meh. There’s no chance it will succeed in forking the community, so it’s just another thing in the HN Cabinet of Curiosities.

      all true altho its pretty rough if a new member’s first experience with HN and perhaps sharing of an idea is flagging and rejection. maybe we shouldnt ascribe to malice an innocent attempt to build for a need they perceive to be missing (imitation is the sincerest form of flattery)
