Aside: Please for the love of God do not force emails to be unique and also require separate accounts per person (especially if you previously did not).

- o11c 1y agoNope. Turns out it's explicitly rejecting HN: Exception information Forbidden: lol @ "hacker" "news"
- hans_castorp 1y agoHmm, works for me (but maybe that's my uBlock or PrivacyBadger)
