So is Github going to ban all of these accounts of chinese devs spreading their nationalistic nonsense? I know they've handed out bans for much less in the past. Many of these accounts seem to be very active outside of the Notepad++ repo.

If current corporate trends prevail, they will ban notepad++ amd hand over the account to the CCP.

I must say that I've only now realised that there is no "report abuse" button on github. Regardless of politics and Chinese propaganda, hurling insults at someone on Github should be reason enough for action against their account. You can say that the news media is lying and all that, that's just daily grind for most English-themed media as well now, but yelling "fuck you" and "wishing a rotten vagina" upon people is not something that should ever be tolerated.

  There is. It's on the user profile page. It really should be on each comment and issue the user has created.

    Ah, thank you. Reporting specific comments would make a lot more sense, but I guess github isn't expecting people to use issue trackers as conversation battlegrounds.
