It looks like dang has a page despite having no slug on his profile page: https://dang.at.hn/ https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=dang Unless of course he added it, and later removed it?
i think the dev of at.hn just added him for testing reasons.

#132How hard is it to export all of the comments someone has written on HN? I have been thinking about converting my HN comment history into something like a blog. Each entry would show the title of the submission, link if applicable, and the comment and link to comment thread. Maybe you could provide that service for a small fee. https://github.com/runvnc/hncomments
I wrote a simple program a while ago to just download all of https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=arp242 , with my cookie set. Upshot of this is that it will include scores and flagged comments, which public sources won't have. It's useful to filter comments. To be honest I don't remember what the exact status is; it should work because I have a large TOML file with all my comments. But I don't recall if there's a…
How do you access the flagged comments?

I assume his profile was used by @padolsey as a test and manually opted-in

#134Just be a little careful, or the OnlyFans people might hear there's a new "social" where they can promote. (For example: LLM-assisted forum presence, combined with profiles with oh, hey there, I have an OF, lol, combined with tech industry disposable incomes... I'd guess would pick up a couple new whales worth the effort. Now that Reddit presumably has been picked clean.)
Any OF models would be met with HN users over-explaining their own economics to them and how it's a terrible business that'll never work. These models will also learn they don't even have a moat to differentiate themselves from other offerings and should keep their development jobs. :)

I don't think people discovering these profiles on HN is the concern here.
The true problem with OF models is due to an iterated mutual tit-for-tat strategy between OF models and popular groups on social media platforms:
1. OF models (or people acting on their behalf) want to promote themselves using popular groups/pages/channels on social-networks — they spam posts to these places, seeming to be authentic engagement, in ways that get people curious to look at their profile; and where their profile on the social network then directs those people to their OF profile.
2. The popular groups/pages/channels on social networks are inundated by spam from these OF models, and so attempt to use automated measures to detect and block posts from posters who link to OF on their profiles.
3. OF models/their agents try to work around this by indirecting their OF profile behind "make an About You page with links" services like carrd.co.
4. The popular SN groups respond by also blocking profiles containing links to these "About You page" services (because, keep in mind, the SN profile already works as an "About You page", so there's no need to link to one of these external "About You page" services — you could just put the same links you'd put on such a page into your SN profile instead. The only people who do link to "About You page" services from their SN profiles, are OF models.)
5. And OF models/their agents try to work around this, by finding ever-more-obscure "About You page" services — and/or profile pages on other, more obscure social-media services, to use as an "About You page" — to get ahead of this moderation.
This at.hn service would sadly be exactly the kind of service referenced in step 5.

Around here I think you’d have better luck selling tiny cute looking computers with tiny screens and open source hardware.
and cooling systems.

agree completely except the last sentance.. smells like a cheap backdoor to auto-profiling plus shenanigans immediately following that

I used to enjoy visiting link.tree links to find ways to support content creators but now it’s a way to disseminate their OF spam
