In some ways this is a nice feature - it's a neat accomplishment for contributors to be aware of, and something that they can be proud of.
But I don't entirely understand why it has been enabled on public profiles by default.
As a regular user I hope that GitHub doesn't continue down the path of becoming a popularity contest at the expense of fostering co-operative work on equal terms.
- berkes 6y agoI had to opt-in. So it is not something that is on-by-default, from what I know.
- stonogo 6y agoI had to opt out -- it appeared on my profile without warning.
- remram 6y agoWhere did you opt-in? I wasn't asked before it showed up, and then I disabled it through the "Settings > Profile > Profile Settings" page.
- berkes 6y agoI cannot reproduce, unfortunately. But I half-conciously agreed to some modal/popup telling me I got some award and wether I wanted to show it. At least, that is what I remember, but it might have been a modal telling me they were going to show it, rather than asking.
- leetrout 6y agoIt is turned on for me by default.
- agustif 6y agoDIDN'T opt in but I'm on beta flags, Idk
