A fake GitHub user with 5k followers and more than 50 organizations (github.com) 6 points by mrsnippets 4y ago ↗ HN
[–] OJFord 4y ago ↗ Since the link is just to the user's profile, I think this needs a bit more context to justify the submission title. I.e. how do I know/verify this is 'a fake GitHub user'? [–] eyelidlessness 4y ago ↗ Agree. I mean a quick glance looks suspect but I’m not about to start diving into their activities and repos to see if I think it passes muster.

[–] yashasolutions 4y ago ↗ there seems to be a some conversation on going with this user in the issues. (https://github.com/BaseMax/BaseMax/issues/11)It could be fake, or not. Just like this claim.I am just wondering what is the added value of such post here at all. Should HN be policing GitHub users?
