[EDIT] This user seems to have several alt accounts, e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=Forgret and note that the git repository referenced by that user is also referenced by comments from this user.
Yeah, such things make me put on my tinfoil hat and be suspicious that bad actors are trying to build up accounts before an election year. But whether or not that is true, you can report suspicious behavior to hn@ycombinator.com
I dunno what the point is. This user is weirdly noisy if you look at the history, directly addressing the moderators at times, etc.
Back when I was spamming a site (had no email check so it was easy) to drive traffic for my blog I had a few hundred sock puppet accounts which were all really bland and tried not to stick out and made sure to vote for many other peoole’s blogs randomly so it wouldn’t be obvious that they were part of something. I never got caught and it ended when I lost the database of accounts from a hard drive crash.
This guy is getting lots of posts [dead] and still barreling on. If it was some kind of sophisticated influence operation I’d expect them to be more saavy (maybe even keep backups!)
