Plagiarists appeared on the site? Even copied the name?

I see very similar domain names, but net. Is this an accessory?

Shameful plagiarism?

This undoubtedly surprised me?

If it is plagiarism, it feels very shameful.
Even the name is copied. If it is an accessory, why is there such an accessory?

    Who cares honestly. It's a shitty Chinese knockoff. Let them post their spam there instead of here

    Shameless copying, yes.

    But, you could make the argument that IndieHackers.com is never going to serve the needs of a Mandarin-speaking audience. And, that the product is the community you build, not the particulars of how the website works.

    It's a bit tacky to steal the name and elements of the branding. But, this is one of the less bad acts of plagiarism -- and it does have a bit of justification.

    Usually the justification is "Hey cool I saw you made some money so I downloaded your website and copied your product and name. Wish me luck!"

      Is this shameless behavior neglected?

    Its a cheap chinese knockoff that's never going to get traction in our sphere. It's the culture. They don't respect other people's work or property. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rClPq0iFg2M

    It's in Chinese and if you don't buy the domain name then somebody's going to take it.
