I'm currently on vacation.

It is not automated but I concede that hn might have become an excessive hobby over time (wait until you see the log of articles I don't submit though! so there is also some curation on my side).

It basically is as simple as: I stumble over something interesting, thinking one thing that would be even better than this is a whole discussion about it, submit, crickets or discussion actually happens.

edit: many (most?) submissions (like this one for example [0]) are actually based on something I read on hn so there is some tree traversal and recursion going on as well now that I think of it.

I took a vacation last year and purposely didn't look at anything online apart from checking work email occasionally. It was so beneficial and it made me feel like I was coming back to somewhere I hadn't been in a while.

If you're interested, I'd definitely recommend taking some time to step away from browsing all day.

np just had spam signs

- Lots of links in bio

- High frequency of posts

- Reposting popular content

Hope you have a good vacation!
