We know the two users are the same individual since they acknowledge domains spammed on HN as theirs in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45096377 and the spam history can be seen in https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=chat-to.dev with the showdead setting turned on. The user also literally asked whether they could use high accounts to self-promote last year so they can't plead ignorance: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41979929
Another user has connected the dots on this user's self-promotion history as well: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44241333
Of course, if anyone at all feels above characterization is inaccurate, please do feel free to contact the HN site administrators directly to ask them to look into the situation.
