First of all, L4s (sorry misspelled in titel) is not a real user, so no harm done here.

It's an automatic bot xposting from reddit, making this community just as bad as r/technology, which kind frankly only revolves around politics and social media platforms.

I've had the user blocked 2 weeks now, and this community is muuuuch more enjoyable and is actually about technology now.

Just wanted to share a positive experience.

I didn't realise hackernews had an actual dedicated domain name. I've only ever accessed it from news.ycombinator.com

It just redirects to that.

HN is a news aggregator where users can find and discuss the latest news and submit content on anything that gratifies one’s intellectual curiosity. YC alumni also post engineering, product, and design jobs on HN.

It has pretty interesting discussions most of the time, the comments are usually very technical, but you can find pretty much the average Lemmy/reddit type of stuff there.
