Can someone explain who this person is and why this is relevant? People crash out all the time; you can seek balance without "cold turkey", unless they find no value in the web at all, in which case why bother to post about it? Who is the audience of this website, if this is their last post?

I think this is the author submitting it himself. The blog has lots of published entries with links under the same user.

A one paragraph rant at the top of HN (at least as it displayed to me) probably shouldn't be there, but FWIW the post did resonate a little with me if OP is reading this

This is an extremely online community. It makes sense that this small post would resonate with some readers, in my opinion.

Mental health is a problem in the US and not properly addressed. Some people find an outlet in writing a blog. Almost anything that helps is good in my opinion, outside of violence.

There are also a bunch of whiny people who can’t handle life or go ballistic if their “wrong” president is elected or society does not agree with their little pet opinion of how the world should be. Unfortunately HackerNews is full of this second category. That’s why it is trending here.

It’s difficult to know which category this one is, but since the first category can lead to really bad outcomes, it’s best to assume good intentions and I won’t judge. Unfortunately, statistically speaking ONLY, this could be the second category.
