Some possible interpretations of Raka's comment:
Raka is Roko, and is lying.
Raka is some other established reader of LW, and is lying.
Raka is a bystander who has been recruited by a regular to join and post that comment.
Raka is a new user who just discovered Less Wrong, and just wanted to post and say how excited they are to join, and just happened to choose a username very like Roko's, and post at a point in the discussion where questions of identity had been raised.
I can't decide between the first three, but the least credible hypothesis is 4.
Please don't piss in the soup Raka, whoever you are.
ETA: As it happens, I have used the name "Raak" elsewhere on the web for many years, but I am not Roko or Raka, and have never posted and never will post here by any name but my everyday one.
The most credible is 1. Placement, Hamming distance, a publicly stated intent to do as much, and a wierdly content-free intro message.
I don't see what Roko gains from this.
I really don't think he would fail that badly at disguise.
