Cleaning up hundreds of spam issues on the urllib3 issue tracker before bed. Just another day maintaining open source software :)
@sethmlarson wtf, 40 pages of issues and no spam protection kicked in?! This and the hundreds of user mentions in new repos problem, makes you wonder what GitHub is doing.
@davidism That's kinda what we were wondering, too. It only stopped once I turned on interaction limits.
@sethmlarson @davidism “suborning this by their enthusiastic promotion of AI”
@sethmlarson well, at least they’re very easy to spot… 🫩
@neutrinoceros Hard to miss! haha
@sethmlarson any idea who's behind it ?
@neutrinoceros It's just random drive-by spam you see anywhere on the internet without rate limiting.
