New accounts on HN more likely to use em-dashes

dang, you should consider this an existential threat to hn.

I hate myself for saying this, but HN should consider closing new registrations for a while until we figure out what to do with this.

We don't ban accounts for criticizing AI (or anything else). We ban them for breaking HN's rules, which you have a long history of creating accounts to do.

Genuine question -- Is it allowed for me to keep creating new accounts? I can leave if you want me to.

That's covered here: "Throwaway accounts are ok for sensitive information, but please don't create accounts routinely. HN is a community—users should have an identity that others can relate to." - https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Wow. This made me laugh far harder than I would have thought it would. Just wow.
