@reset here. Always reply when I get @‘d because I love the laugh and also genuinely find the joy in looking at what people are building afterwards. Never stop, it’s a great part of my day
I once changed my mobile phone number so the last 8 digits were 69696969. I thought this was hilarious. Then I found out that people have randomly scrawled that number on every toilet cubicle "For a good time call XYZ69696969" and I would get calls all the way through the night, every night.
I own a few 867-5309 numbers for different areas. I have them do nothing these days but for a while I let them hit a pbx and we’d get up to 2500 calls a day on each line. Lots of drunk dudes trying to call Jenny.

I doubt it takes all that much to convince callers that are already drunk and trying to do something they think is mildly funny already.

Makes me think: Interesting spam vector: create a PR advertising whatever and then @ a bunch of people you scraped. Also interesting attack vector: get a easily mistaken @ name and then see what you become reviewer on. Add malicious code to that PR and merge. Edit: also what is stupid is at work when setting up your organisation security access you can add anyone globally in the combo search. No org-only filter is ev…
Some people have done it by accident: GitHub user sends notification to 400k users [2022] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31627061
In any case an honorable mention goes to the useless “lock this now” pile-on comments.
