I'm scandalized!
- DennisAleynikov 5y agowhat kind of bot even is this, gosh
- the_only_law 5y agoI’m not even sure they’re a bot, I’ve seen low effort trolls pop up all over the site now, usually quickly killed off. The most curious case, was an [banned] account making comments like this with a 10 year tenure. I’m not sure if they were posting unhinged crap for 10 years, or if they at some point were relatively benign until losing it for some reason.
- throwawaygh 5y agoor the account owner isn't the person posting. HN doesn't have a captcha for login attempts and there are probably lots of shared user/pass combos (or just easy to guess passes).
