You should make your stuff private if you are uncomfortable with the entire internet having easy, open access to it. If the sites/services you use don't have appropriate measures complain to them or use something else.
There's really not much point complaining, you might stop that person but not the actual process he's using.
http://bitbucket.org/ http://bitbucket.org/ has unlimited private repositories for teams under 5 which is a great way to sandbox non-public projects.
- nsxwolf 12y agoIn the GitHub case, I have no repositories. I only view other projects and sometimes download them. Is that information public? I don't see where.
- benologist 12y agoView your profile in incognito mode and you'll see what's public or not. If you are 'leaking' information this way you can avoid it by anonymously cloning projects to elsewhere, and not commenting or w/e interactions are broadcasted. Github has really shitty privacy controls so I don't think you can conceal yourself very much while using their service.
- pjungwir 12y agoI believe even if you don't share your email address on Github, someone can still pull it out of your commmits. At least that used to be possible.
