↳ In-reply-to » Hey @prologic, I wanted to learn a bit of jq so I went hunting for spam accounts on git.mills.io using data from the API. Here are the results. I thought I'd find more than 11.

@prologic@twtxt.net There’s no script, it was mostly a manual process. I used jq, gron, grep, and awk to present the information in a reasonable way, then manually checked any accounts that looked suspicious. I looked at user descriptions, user URLs, and repositories.

It wasn’t difficult to go through the data by hand after it was filtered a bit.

There are 195 registered users, only a handful of which have specified a description or URL.

There are 203 non-fork repositories, but only 27 of them are owned by entities other than prologic, yarnsocial, and saltyim. That prologic guy alone accounts for 152 of them.
