我的项目突然在 Reddit 上走红后，GitHub 封禁了我的账户
1 分•作者: lpierge•3 个月前
大家好，
我过去常编写（底层）C和Win32应用程序。最近，我在Reddit上分享了一些我的开源项目，引起了相当大的关注，在几个小时内带来了访客激增和大量的Git克隆。这是我的一篇帖子，让你们看看我平时写的是什么样的代码：

不久之后，我发现我的整个GitHub账户被“影子禁封”了：如果我登录，我可以看到它，但其他人（或未登录的会话）会收到“用户未找到”的404错误。
我联系了GitHub支持，在与虚拟助手（！）沟通后，一位名叫Pinto的人工支持人员终于回复了我一个最后通牒：
“目前，我们要求您删除以下存储库或将其设为私有：https://github.com/lpierge/Calimero”
他们给了我临时访问权限来执行此操作。
顺便说一下，他们选择这个项目的方式完全是任意的，只是随便挑了一个，没有任何正当理由。Calimero是一个桌面管理器，除了像漂浮图标这样的一些花哨功能外，它还允许用户直接从Picsum、Pexels、Reddit（任何子版块）和Danbooru等网站下载图片。我怀疑他们的自动化滥用检测系统由于原始启发式规则将其标记为潜在的恶意软件/勒索软件，而支持人员根本懒得去实际查看源代码。
我回复支持部门，询问该项目违反了哪项具体服务条款。他们的回应？至今一片沉默，而我在GitHub上的整个公开形象仍然被封锁，除非我删除我自己的合法作品。
这种完全不讲技术细节、先判你有罪再让你证明清白的任意做法，令人极其沮丧。
有人在GitHub上遇到过类似的合规性锁定吗？你们是如何在不删除开源代码的情况下解决的？有什么建议吗？
谢谢，
Luca

Hi everyone,<p>I'm used to write (low-level) C and Win32 apps. Recently, I shared some of my open-source projects on Reddit. They got quite a bit of traction, resulting in a sudden spike of visitors and lot of unique Git clones in a few hours. This is one of my post, just to let you see what kind of code I'm used to write:<p>https://www.reddit.com/r/windowsapps/comments/1uw30gd/explorerbgtoolredux_a_refactoringrewrite_of_the/<p>Shortly after, I realized my entire GitHub account was shadowbanned: If I log I can see it, but anyone else (or logged-out sessions) got a 404 "User not found" error.<p>I contacted GitHub Support and after dealing with a virtual assistant (!), a human support agent (Pinto) finally replied with an ultimatum:<p>"At this time, we ask that you to remove the following repository or make it private: https://github.com/lpierge/Calimero"
They granted me temporary access to do this.<p>BTW, they choosed that project in an absolutely arbitrary manner, just to name one with no valid reason. Calimero is a desktop manager which, besides some fancy things as flying icons, allow the user to download images directly from site like Picsum, Pexels, Reddit (every subreddit) and Danbooru. I suspect their automated abuse-detection system flagged it as potential malware/ransomware due to raw heuristics, and the support staff simply didn't bother to actually look at the source code.<p>I replied to support asking what specific terms of service the project is infringing. Their response? Complete silence so far, while my entire public presence on GitHub remains blocked unless I delete my own legitimate work.<p>This arbitrary "guilty until proven innocent" approach with zero technical explanation is incredibly frustrating.<p>Has anyone faced a similar compliance lockout on GitHub? How did you resolve it without deleting your open-source code? Any suggestion about what to do?<p>Thanks, Luca
