I created an automated reminder in my email to share the best stories from my blog to Hacker News, this is not some elaborate bot system.

I'm just one dude running a solo business and need to build automation things like that so I don't forget to post on Hacker News.

I never manipulated votes or anything like that.

And you bragged about being called out in another tweet, which doesn't feel very repentant.

Regardless, this discussion thread is guaranteed to be linked to in all of your future HN submissions that hit the front page and consequently flagged to death, so I hope it was worth it.
