Around 6 years ago I was messing with my HN settings, and accidentally set my minaway to the equivalent to 6~ years (I set it to a random number w/o bothering to read what it did).
My first comment post-self-ban was much less epic though.
- googh 2y agoJust curious: Why didn't you email the moderators?
- munchler 2y agoI was really hoping this was your first comment in 6 years, but alas not.
- magnat 2y agoThere is now a protection, you can't set it to more than 9999. :)
- TeMPOraL 2y agoOh no :(. Some time ago, I asked 'dang to ban my account for a month or something, as I was trying a HN detox. He told me to set minaway to some stupidly high number, and e-mail HN when I'm ready to come back. I typed some digits and banned myself for the next couple thousand years. In reality, it took me ~year to decide to come back, after finally understanding that blocking HN only causes me to seek out inferior forms of Internet use.
- supriyo-biswas 2y agoSo much this — I just end up looking at YouTube Shorts or something of that kind if I can’t browse HN. It’s the reason I’ve always removed the noprocrast option even after enabling it for some time.

- flutas 2y ago> our account has been commenting continuously since it was created in 2010 They seemingly have a gap from July 14th of 2018, to 4 months ago.
- whimsicalism 2y agoyou’re totally right- sorta blanked my mind that 2018 was already 6 years ago
