2019 and I don't remember how. I don't even do anything computer related, but I'm interested in it. I remember seeing the design of the forum and imidiatly fell in love with it.
Every few month I make a new one. That's because I like to share personal information when I discuss certain topics. I don't have secrets to hide, but I just don't feel comfortable having it all in one place. I want to stay as anonymous as I can. I try to avoid an account that paints a comprehensive picture of my thoughts, interests, job situations, hopes, whatever, you name it
There is a bullet point in the guidelines about exactly that. It's not desired behaivor. But I don't feel bad about it, because I don't intend to misuse it.
Kind of related: I'm worried about the new language recognition tools of today and tomorrow. Last time I've seen a post about HN users, they needed 10k (?) words from an account to make a connection between accounts.

I see you had to create a new account though... If it's okay to ask, what happened to the last one?
