Am I completely tripping out or does rexroad's profile use a template where they were supposed to fill in a blank but forgot? "Former [your background if relevant]".
Really opens my eyes to all the other politics posting accounts that have a similarly constructed profile description .. But of course, they'll never be banned and instead they get front page of HN and hundreds of upvotes.
What do you see as the bad part of this? That the user is trying to farm points by copying patterns of upvote-winning users, or that there's a flood of inauthentic new users? Genuinely asking.
every forum has busybodies who try to make something out of nothing
Yeah, day old account too.
