Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Linked for posts by a LibreOffice developer: a 2025 post about his Microsoft account being locked, and a 2016 post on integrating LibreOffice with SharePoint, with a 'Part 2' link.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
A LibreOffice dev gets locked out of his /hotmail account/ and neowin turns this into a Microsoft developer ban? Specious reporting. Mike doesn't make this claim in the original source: https://mikekaganski.wordpress.com/2025/07/25/microsoft-anyb... Hotmail/outlook support isn't great (I've had a similar challenge but it was eventually resolved), google support is worse (a similar challenge, eventually denied).
