As always, HN has no sense of humour...

It does, but it has to be particularly funny, and the author has to tike on the risk there. Otherwise, there are too many people who think themselves humourous, but otherwise have little to contribute. The result is current-day reddit. It's beyond cringe, it's just low-effort repatative humour. some think it's just dead-internet/botted-to-hell, but I suspect even bots can make a better effort.
I don't think the commenter was saying anything about the quality of humor in that statement. Rather, they were attempting to relay that the style of writing is overly verbose, even on the contact page. Also, isn't the parent comment attempting to be humorous as well?
Humor is banned here.
Some people do!
Writing like a wanker isn't funny.
Why not just say to yourself, - "I don't think that's funny" - instead of generalizing on behalf of others with a word that is in essence, meaningless or rather, it means what you personally want it to mean for any particular occasion?
