And when I say "reminds me a lot" I mean: hmm, the exact same font, menu, icons, emoiji's, buttons, color scheme.. to the point where I can't find a single difference.

Insinuations of astroturfing without evidence are explicitly against the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. Overwhelmingly (and I mean well over 99.9% of the time) people make guesses that are completely wrong, and it poisons discussion.
I certainly didn't read anything negative from someone welcoming a new poster to HN. Dang, I think you might be jumping the gun a bit here, and even going against HN guidelines:

Of course the sentence is harmless in itself. But given that the commenter was repeatedly expressing skepticism about the bona fides of the project (perhaps accurately—that's a separate issue), my guess is that it was meant that way, and if so, that's against the rules.
Moderation is guesswork. Inevitably we guess wrong sometimes, and in such cases are happy to apologize and fix the mistakes. But not making any such guesses isn't an option, since then people could get away with anything as long as they phrased it ambiguously.
