It's a little confusing to see 2 accounts, with very different usernames (epi0Bauqu and yegg), that appear to be posting as Gabriel Weinberg . Are these both legitimate? And if they are, what's the reason for two of them?



Yeah that's my bad. epi0Bauqu is my original account, but since no one knew who I was under that account I, some years later, made the yegg account and I try to post from there. The issue here is I logged in to post the comment, and then switched to my laptop where I was already logged in this other account.


Good to know, I just wanted to be sure that someone wasn't attempting an impersonation.


It was only a minor issue that got resolved quickly thanks to your question, but DDG's response to this whole issue of losing users' trust seems to be accurately characterised by the phrase "a succession of embarrassing own goals". :-/


Have you considered noting this in the user profile data of this HN account, then logging out of this one on your laptop.
