Don’t want to delve into any accusatory territory, but I’ve seen several new accounts with names following a similar pattern that post such material and dip.
Not by choice. I'm usually auto-flagged/shadow-banned/banned after one or two comments, so I make a new account to join the discussion when necessary. I would prefer to use the same account but it's out of my hands.
The mod warned me that using a new name each time could be interpreted as deceptive so I've been using the same name (with an incremented suffix) for a little while now to not obscure my identity.

Maybe there is a reason? I had my comments downvoted, but thinking about this, it was deserved, those comments were really not constructive and severely lacking in empathy. No one normal likes reading such things and HN is a place where it matters. It's not a place to just vent.
