Take the win.

I mostly just use GitHub for work. I don't think the social media bits matter.

Except stars. I've been told investors use stars as a proxy for interest lately. I see how bots these make a lot of sense.

All this bots stuff reminds me of an off hand part of Anathem. They had this historical arms race of garbage spread on their internet. There's these monk folks who have been fighting it for generations. I thought it was sill years ago. Feels sane now.
