Ask HN：GitHub 是否移除了关注者列表？
4 分•作者: reconnecting•大约 15 小时前
GitHub 似乎在持续 (1) 弃用星标信息。起初，未登录用户无法查看 stargazers 列表，现在仓库页面上的主要 stargazers 链接也消失了。除非你拥有该仓库，否则访问 `/stargazers` 会返回 404 错误 (2)。
我知道很多人说星标不是一个真实的信号，但它们曾经是：它们使得检测虚假星标的迹象成为可能。一些第三方服务甚至显示了仓库星标的地理分布，这样你就可以判断它们看起来是否真实。
关键在于，无论 GitHub 提供什么理由，结果都是一样的：要么是 GitHub 在机器人面前很弱，要么是它宁愿自己控制这些信号，而外部用户无法对其进行审计。

GitHub seems to be continuing (1) to deprecate star information. First the stargazers list was hidden from logged-out users, and now the main stargazers link on repo pages has disappeared too. <i>/stargazers</i> returns a 404 (2) unless you own the repo.<p>I know many people say stars aren't a real signal, but they were: they made it possible to detect signs of bought stars. Some third-party services even showed the geographic distribution of a repo's stars so you could judge whether they looked fake.<p>The main point is that whatever reasoning GitHub offers, the outcome is the same: either GitHub is weak against bots, or it would rather control these signals itself, with no way for outsiders to audit them.<p>1. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48821803<p>2. https://github.com/tirrenotechnologies/tirreno/stargazers
