Hi,
a few weeks ago github locked me out of all my messengers and platforms where i used githubs oatuh.
i only noticed it when i tried to log into jit.si for example.
no email no notification. Aside from the error message i cant even find any information regarding it in my account.
The thing is i cant explain why it happened i usually visit a few repos some time s to make suggestions some times to report bugs.
but lets say not more interaction than once a week or so.
still the error message reads: You are marked as spam, and therefore cannot authorize a third party application.
lucky i have found alternative ways to contact my friends to say that i am ok.
but i would like to know what i did to offend github that it shadowbanned me.
Also why the heck can github without notice block oauth for accounts?
how am i supposed to contact family and friends? (aside from a new account)
of course i opened a ticket but i also got ghosted there not even an acknowledgement of my ticket or problem.
for sure i wont use github for anything anymore. (i hope there will be others to make suggestions and bug reports)
but i would love a chance to at least use oatuh for a few days to get my affairs in order :(
so tl:dr if anyone knows how i could get oatuh to work again for a few days it would be greatly appreciated <3
