I think you should be a tad less obvious when using puppet accounts to upvote your own submissions

Some people will tweet[1] when they post something to HN. Sometimes they'll ask for upvotes and comments.

I kind of feel sorry for them because apparently the software is good at spotting this behaviour and penalising the post.

This submission was, as you say, really freaking obvious.

Some people are also clueless (in this occasion - me) but I'm willing to learn. So asking people to up-vote in social media is a No-No?

They are not puppet accounts they are my peers and friends which I asked to upvote. All of them are real people that know mean.io and use daily or have used it in the past. I am not very HN savvy and have no idea what is the right practice to promote something I've posted and that i believe is valuable. Is there some kind of guideline?
