#24For anyone at GitHub looking at this thread: please update your documentation page about how to report abuse (https://docs.github.com/en/communities/maintaining-your-safe...). I tried to follow the instructions, but I ran into a bunch of dead ends that slowed me down - I couldn't find the report abuse buttons for issues, comments, or repositories, only for the user profile page. I'm on Chrome on a Mac laptop, logged into GitHub.
Also, on the report abuse page that I got to from the user profile page, the green submit button is nearly hidden by the grey footer, even when I scroll the page around and complete the captcha.

#25I almost thought it was real, since I’ve never received an actual email from YC. Can anyone share how to apply to YC and what the notification process looks like if you’re selected?

#27Still at it with a different repo and app that hasn't (yet) been nuked, but I have reported to GitHub.
The repo, the app, and the user account behind each have now all been nuked by GitHub.

#28To remove resulting notifications, see instructions here https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/174283#discuss...
These spam repositories have been deleted, but I still had lingering notifications stuck on GitHub, and I couldn't see them in the UI to remove them (but the small blue notification dot was constantly on). The API hack resolved this problem.
