I want to upvote you because you're the original author and thus your comment is super relevent, but I think the last sentence of your post violates this site's guidelines. What in your tweet was misinterpreted?
I'm really getting pissed off when people overinterpret other people texts and create "news" based on their biased misinterpretation. What I stated in twitter post is that any company can do anything with your data or account, and you should not rely on any free service on the internet. That's it, only that. I did not say that my github account is deleted or that the reason behind that is one of my repository.
Moreover, for some reason people tend to read only that first tweet while what I wanted to say is in next 5 tweets too.
My primary language is Russian, and I'm usually very cautious of my written language and always try to write any texts (emails, blog posts, Russian craiglist listings) as clear, unambiguously and literate as possible, but always see people who just don't read. This is not an insult, I mean it literally: PLEASE learn to read in full.
I find it amusing that wanting other people to learn to read can be and often is considered insulting. Perhaps there's also a bit of a culture clash - Russians are relatively direct.
Spending your time trying to write clearly and unambiguously likely won't be appreciated much, but it does make the world a better place.
It's an insult when that person does know how to do it.
This issue wasn't related with his capacity to read either, which further enhance how it was used as an insult.
It was a misunderstanding, that's all. No one is specifically responsible for it.
I find it concerning that Twitter has become such a common way to share news. The short message format can make it impossible to get a full point across reliably.
It seems like all that his Twitter feed confirms is that his page shows as 404, but nothing more than that. He did not mention any association between the ban and his work, instead on Twitter he's just saying self-hosting is more reliable. The latest tweet implies the shadow ban ("invisible issues, invisible commits, invisible code comments!").
That's pretty much what I implied. But added twitter so that people can see his perspective.
He sure is understandably upset. It sure explain WHY he answered like that, but it's not an excuse to act like that.
All based on basically a misunderstanding, which I don't believe was done out of malice. But at the end of the day this is essentially "fake news". Again, likely born out of ignorance, not malice. But I think the person being misrepresented saying "learn to read" is hardly over the top.
