Woah, now, you’re talking about the premium tier.
Last week, some LLM bot commented under one of our issues and it became apparent pretty quickly, that it is a bot. So, I went to report it (incredible the report menu did say they want reports for bots).
I filled out the reporting form probably five times in total, trying at different times of the day. Every time, I got an error 500 (Internal Server Error) as response.
Later, I checked my mails, and saw that actually two of my reports did go through, meaning I created two tickets on their side.
What those mails also said: They're very sorry, if it takes longer, since they're currently experiencing a higher number of reports.
Gee, I wonder why.
Microslop does it again! But it will take much more than this for people to leave GitHub. Someone will have to start making private repositories public to show that GitHub can't be trusted for companies to leave. And someone will have to insert malware into GitHub releases from inside the system to make opensource people leave.

And even that wouldn't be enough for some of them, given SourceForge's continued existence.

What if it's private, but used as training data for copilot, and can only be accessed publicly through prompt injection?
