Human internet is dead. I don't know how we can come back from this.

It's going to take a while for HN (the community, the mods, and the software systems) to adapt. Hopefully we can find a new equilibrium, but there is going to be quite some turbulence for a while.

In the meantime, it's super helpful for people to let us know at [email protected] when they see accounts like these which are posting nothing but what appear to be generated comments, so we can ban them.

Edit: (perhaps I shouldn't bury the lede): Generated comments aren't allowed on HN - https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que.... They never have been, and of course this rule is becoming more relevant these days.

It's tragic. So many bots!
