I love these posts, every week it's "Gloop is now on Ploof!"

And at least one comment references "Curtains for Zoosha"

it's just two recent examples (Gleam on Tangled and now Bitchat on Radicle) and they're both the same format.

[Some well-liked but niche tech] switched their code forge to [a decentralized code forge].

Tbh I'm surprised how many on HN seem unfamiliar with Tangled and Radicle (and Bitchat and Gleam).

		Radicle and Bitchat have been covered here quite a few times. These drive-by commenters (all making the same joke) come every time, and they think they’re being clever by discouraging people from looking into the product. Note that you’ll never hear people saying “what’s a Google” (an equally ridiculous name) or jumping on some random YC startup with a silly name. It’s always the open source tech. It’s not random! Joke’s on them anyway, I believe many users have embraced the alternate interpretation of the name. There’s a @BitchatMe_ Twitter account that covers BitChat news, for example. They’re just being annoying without any real effect.

		Here's some less popular posts in the past year that people didn't make Poob jokes about: * Gemini is now on Mac * OpenClaw is now on Android * Instapaper is now on Kobo * Gitzy is now on Testflight * Webpack is now on Bluesky https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=pastYear&page=0&prefix=tru...

		It's 2026, learn to flimble. A plumbis won't get far in today's economy.
