Every single piece of info necessary to conclude “the author is talking about Bear” is present in the text. Here, I’ll show it.
"I’m tired of seeing these hacker news posts getting blasted ontotrending." — neither HN nor Lemmy have “trending”.
"I’m not mad at the people who post something tech-related and it happened to getcross posted […] I’m talking about the posts that are primarily optimizedfor the hacker news platform." — author clearly talking about people posting in one platform, so things get cross-posted in Hacker News (another platform).
"Half the time they far surpass anything anyone posts purely onthis platform." — “This” refers to things physically or metaphorically close to the speaker. So when someone says “this platform”, on the internet, you can be pretty sure they’re referring to the platform they’re using to publish a message.
"I’m just tired of seeing AI circle jerking onthis platform." — ditto as above
“I’m not calling for Herman to suppress these posts, that would be silly of me and kinda cringe.” — you might not know who Herman is, but the text shows he’s in a position of power to suppress posts. And that there’s a non-zero chance Herman could read what the author says; otherwise people could not reasonably misinterpret what the author says as calling for Herman to suppress these posts.
The link near the end confirms it: “Powered by Bear ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ”. It shows a page saying “Built and maintained by Herman.”
