HN removes a "how" if the post starts with it, sometimes making it hilarious.

Tbh the missing how is probably why I followed the link. And I appreciated the post, so net positive outcome here.

I’ve seen this a few times now, what’s the context/background on why this is done?

I think maybe they check for "How to [...]" and other variations? "How I broke TLS 1.3" -> "I broke TLS 1.3"

yeah but why?

Over-engineering to solve a problem that doesn't exist, thereby making one.

		sure…what’s the motivation? is this seriously that difficult of a question to answer? this “solution” was put in place for a reason, what’s the reason? does nobody actually know?

Otherwise you might confuse it with the HN mod tomhow.

Same reason they remove "dang" if the post starts with it, like the discussion about "Dang! Who ate the middle out of the daddy longlegs".
