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.
Surprised to see one of these kinds of sites be opt-in. Most things I see using HN data are real loosey goosey about it.

Not really, unless you have visited the site before. I guess you already have accepted the warning on their front page lol. Sad that you are a party pooper tho! I was being nice and warned you and here you are, removing the fun.
It's not fun when people end up with that domain in their history on corporate networks. Fun would be redirecting to a rickroll, what you did is malicious.
Usernames in domains means, in many cases, the ISP learns peoples usernames.
instead of going to dang.at.hn directly, I am archiving it at https://archive.ph/wip/0acmv so only me, and the fine folks at archive.today, and of course everyone on HN will have access to dang's username :D

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?
How 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

The wording of: > To opt-in, paste "{your username}.at.hn" anywhere in your profile's 'about' section. Is slightly incorrect, I think. Everyone seems to visible by default, opted-in or not. However, the ?refresh thing is locked down so you need to opt-in before. But by default, every user page is accessible on at.hn, even if you don't have the link in your profile.
Mine is not visible, and I did not opt-in.

Just 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. :)
If this post is any indication, part of HN would build tooling, while the rest would vote it up.

pg was added too, first one I tried. I had assumed it was a growth-strategy thing, but testing makes more sense. Surprised to see one of these kinds of sites be opt-in. Most things I see using HN data are real loosey goosey about it.
