It's not even that great of an article, and yet it's the top post on HN? I hope at least dang looks at the data. I'm sorry it's pretty suspicious. Like what is so notable about this post that it warrants being at the top? Above the living social layoffs and the various other way more interesting things on the front page right now.

Worst case, it turns out being a legit article, in which case it's cool. Eh, no big deal.

If you're worried about the upvotes on the article, they're definitely legit (as far as we can tell). I suspect it's as simple as that Slack is a hot topic (for or against) and people here like open source. And are passionate about chat software.

Thanks dang!

Whoops, I did not mean to downvote you for this comment, I hit it when scrolling on my phone. Sorry

It does seem very suspicious.
