"if i really wanted to astro-turf this, i'd make it so you wouldn't be able to tell" ...


I was able to parse the sentence. I was asking andyprevalsky if they could personally expand on that boast. Like for example if somebody accused me of being a bot puppeteer I would say something like “what” or “I don’t know how to do that”. I wouldn’t outright state that I’m excellent at furtively making bots on this website because that’s not a skill or interest that I have.

I suppose I could have phrased that “why should I believe you” but I feel like andyprevalsky would have answered that if they answered the question I posted.


I have no interest in botting this site, I thought that was implied from b4… HN doesn’t deserve that


So the answer is “No”, you can not elaborate on your brag about being able to make undetectable bots on this site?
