HN tips:

# AI Vague Posting

Don't take the vague comment bait! Vague comments about how <Claude/Specific model> magically solved someone's problem, with no details - just downvote and move on

# Anything GrapheneOS

Don't bother engaging in anything but sycophancy in posts/comments. They're watching. Not worth the mass karma hit/unjustified flags. Look at the 'grapheneos' and 'strcat' HN account history - a ton of reply-spam, constant accusations of being a victim, very little genuine conversation to be had.

Obvious GOS fans/devs who show up to every GOS post include: other8026, HybridStatAnim8, microtonal

On their Discord people are invited to opt-in to "to mentions for help addressing inaccurate media coverage of GrapheneOS". [0]

And on their Mastadon they have previously specifically asked followers to manipulate HN.

# Posts critical of big tech (FAANG etc)

They'll likely have a long top-level comment along the lines of "let me explain why this isn't quite right/not as bad as it seems". Just skip over that
