There is nothing worse than some Muppet who finds what's probably almost certainly a mistake or config error and then posts alarmist and "This is now a fact" posts.

Post it like "I don't seem to be able to view unless I login" or "Does anyone else find that they need to login" not as a statement of fact.

https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/157887 This has been going on for weeks and is clearly not a simple mistake.

Triggered by Chinese language on the client side? Interesting.

Ok, not a mistake, rate limits.

Still an A-Grade Muppet headline, because you very clearly can still browse code when you're not logged in.

Aged like wine now you've posted that.

Linked issue clearly demonstrates otherwise.
