It has a full name and personal website link in one of the comments, which contains a link to their food photography page saying that cooking used to be their profession.

I would assume that should be enough to at least believe it in the absence of evidence showing otherwise, but I guess we aren't treating replies in good faith anymore here.

Point taken, I didn't go as far as scrolling comments and only checked the user page. Apologies to dataviz1000.

No, it's just one person, not all of HN, and I can't imagine why the contention.

  • Yeah, it's just one person here, but I am starting to see that type of a person across all HN comment sections way more often these days.

    Nothing personal against that specific user at all btw, especially since they recognized it.

    It was just more of a personal rant on my part, as I am saddened by slow redditification of HN comments over the years. Higher-trust comment sections is a major part of why I've been enjoying HN for so long, as opposed to many other alternatives.
