There are several other posts made recently on the archive.is blog as well, some of which appear to be quite nonsensical or are otherwise irrelevant to the discourse at hand. They all appear to be LLM-generated. It's all very confusing.
Interestingly, theres an account in that thread claiming to be from Gyrovague, but its not the same one thats in this thread, which has been confirmed to be legit as it is mentioned by name in this latest Gyrovague article.
I wonder, is the newer gyrovague-com account because they lost the login for the old one? or was the old one a different person? Hopefully they can clarify, because if there's an account pretending to be them that makes this story even more confusingly weird.
You can just email hn@ycombinator.com to get help. They can reset your password if there's someway for them to verify that you were the owner of the account.

OP gyrovague-com here. Yes, I can confirm that I was also "gyrovague" on HN, but embarrassingly I've lost/typoed the password.

>And I will not write "an OSINT investigation" on your Nazi grandfather, will not vibecode a gyrovague.gay dating app, etc

Password managers are great for that.
there is also `japatokal`:

It is very possible that `gyrovague` is not `japatokal` but an impersonator.

I cannot make head or tail of this but it's more fascinating than the usual internecine bloodbath.
