I woke up to some huge spam threads from Github this morning. Someone figured out how to notify everyone in a major repo (at least, I think that's what happened), and others piled on with nonsense comments and even some very disgusting images.

GitHub, in their infinitesimal wisdom, make you log in to unsubscribe! Which of course I can't do on my phone. So I've taken to reporting their notifications as spam.
