What you do not see is any deleted messages that already happened before that comment, it can well be that a bunch of twitter/reddit/hn/... users already thought it'd be helpful to invade and post some probably not so well-thought-out nor useful stuff. And I mean, it's their repo, if they want to restrict an issue/pr to contributors only and do so with a sarcastic message or some other rhetoric way, it's their full right to do so..

Of course it’s their right to do so, what a silly response. Just because they can, doesn’t mean they should though. > What you do not see is any deleted messages that already happened before that comment, it can well be that a bunch of twitter/reddit/hn/... users already thought it'd be helpful to invade and post some probably not so well-thought-out nor useful stuff. And so the solution is to double down and antagonize everyone else? That’s a good way to lose any moral high ground. Ban the bad actors if need be, lock the comments, but for god’s sake communicate that decision professionally.
