Incident with Actions and Pages

Re:Incident with Actions and Pages by gustavus on Tuesday May 26, 2026 @12:48PM (#48282292)

Anyone else notice that the first/near top comment on every HackerNews post lately is someone saying something along the lines of "I had X problem so I went and started working on Y solution if you want to give it a look?"

I don't want to delve into it any further - but something about it seems incongruous. It's not spam it's submarine marketing.

It's called growth hacking and it's indeed rude and annoying.

Ah sorry! Didn't mean to be annoying. Hm is open-source and my intentions are good. I'm also trying to figure out what's good and what's not!

Apologies for the spam!

I mean, it is a community that self-selects for builders and startup-types.

Same thing's all over Reddit, too.
