 @linus:schreibt.jetzt | I'd say it's both. | 19:36:03 |
 samueldr | oh sure | 19:36:10 |
 raitobezarius | regarding the disappearing thing, I think this is the classical measure they have to hide sensible contents (CSAM, etc.) | 19:36:28 |
| samueldr | distinct problem, one actionable today, but the other needed to be solved in some form | 19:36:30 |
| raitobezarius | * regarding the disappearing thing, I think this is the classical measure they have to hide sensitive contents (CSAM, etc.) | 19:37:03 |
| samueldr | raitobezarius: multiple previous contributors have been disappeared from the repo, without any explanation, without any trace | 19:37:06 |
| samueldr | it would be a different, yet still problematic situation, if at least they would leave traces | 19:37:22 |

raitobezarius: multiple previous contributors have been disappeared from the repo, without any explanation, without any trace I agree | 19:37:24 |
| samueldr | I imagine there must be smaller accounts used for like 1/2 PRs/issues, maybe a dozen comments, who got disappeared without being noticed in our projects | 19:40:15 |
| raitobezarius | I think samueldr sent such requests in the past, would you be okay to assemble it? | 22:12:16 |
| samueldr | not really | 22:13:36 |
| samueldr | it was for a specific event | 22:13:42 |
| raitobezarius | okay | 22:13:43 |
| samueldr | and it really went nowhere | 22:13:50 |
| samueldr | I am scraping some data to figure out how much we're missing overall | 22:15:51 |
| samueldr | in 2020 we were missing over 900 "issues/PRs", but not all of them were necessarily from legit users being disappeared | 22:16:24 |
| samueldr | and many could be attributed to a handful of those | 22:16:35 |
| samueldr | scraping will probably not be done until 1.5 days though | 22:17:39 |
| samueldr | * scraping will probably not be done until 1.5 days from now though | 22:17:48 |

 immae | Just in case, I found https://github.com/mattduck/gh2md which could be of use for your issue if you want to backup discussions to a different place (cloning the PRs themselves just requires changing the refspec), although it might take some time to download them all due to the rate limiting | 06:54:46 |

| twitchy0 | Can I claim affiliation with the NixOS Foundation as a non profit to request a room for the New York Nix Users Group?
