To be fair, lots of people don't like to comment on sites.

So imagine you read HN for a while, but never register a nym because you don't really like to do social media. Then, you are inspired to do a project and think the community would enjoy it, and get hit with hostility.

I suspect sometimes that's a trend that plays out, not saying it's the case in this particular instance.

I appreciate this perspective. I think that tension between sharing and promotion is real, especially for people who don’t post often.
