- suddenlybananas 10mo agoHave you considered that people may join HackerNews who were not already on it?
- freedomben 10mo agoAlso usernames/handles can be surprisingly hard. It seems reasonable to me that people would pick something related to what they are thinking about at the time.
- izacus 10mo agoWhat's way more likely is that they've created a sock puppet account though.
- QuantumNomad_ 10mo agoAnd in particular, people might lurk for a long time without an account until one day a thread makes them want to comment so much that they go ahead and create an account to comment. Although, the username they picked in this case does seem a bit specific to the topic of the single comment they wrote. So it remains to be seen if this particular case was a throwaway account only used once, or if they will keep it.
- testdelacc1 10mo agoHave you considered googling what a sock puppet is? See, both of us can make comments in that same condescending style, pretending to be polite.
