Have you registered just to say that everything is a-ok in Turkey?

Not to be overly suspicious, but it sounds very much like government-sponsored astroturfing.

I had just contacted hn support to de-associate my posts from my username so I’d feel guilty about posting with my regular account again. Now it’s only posting with throwaways that I don’t even keep track of the passwords of (hence a new username now).

Everything is not ok in Turkey, there’s lots and lots of stuff that needs to be fixed re: gay rights and acceptance in general public plus millions more of other things which led me to leave the country; but having to hide gay porn habits from the government/my isp was not one of them. Again, it’s not Iran or Russia.
