Hi there, I run the Developer Advocacy and Community team at Sourcegraph and am very involved with our user community. To answer your questions. - No, we do not engage in buying any comments, bots, or similar. Any time we've done any sort of external promotion, it is always correctly attributed as such. - We can't control what other people do but we have no relationship with ReplyGuy or any similar service. We can theorize all day and go down the rabbit hole of "was this a competitor trying to make us look bad?", "is this HN post stealth marketing for ReplyGuy", etc, but I don't think that would really lead anywhere productive. I do fully agree that people need to be wary of anything posted on the Internet and take it with a grain of salt and whenever possible verify the facts themselves.
