beyonddd should really identify themselves as the founder of a competitor. Nothing wrong with posting, but pseudo-anonymously disparaging the competition seems very inappropriate.
Yes - I flagged myself as an Optery founder on my first comment, but as you mentioned the comment was subsequently flagged and hidden from view. It is also made clear here: https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=beyondd
From my perspective, I'd put it in any comment mentioning Optery or criticizing competitors. People often read one comment; they don't read all your comments and your profile.
It also adds some credibility: You actually know what you're talking about in regard to this kind of service.
not affiliated with Optery but agree conflict of interest, also misleading by onerep and at best deceptive.
take that potential lack of trust together with the several reports online that onerep's us operation is a sham and they are really operating out of eastern europe and sending user data there...seems shady.
begs the question: what does a privacy-respecting org like Mozilla see in onerep and how is it better than what other companies offer?
