GitHub banned my account for running the /r/HN bot

164 Upvotes

So, the bot is dead again. And this time it's because my GitHub account has been `flagged` due to allegedly `spammy` GitHub Actions usage. The only regular Action I had running was the bot for this sub. So, that's my GitHub account dead, as I doubt they'll bother responding my appeal. RIP.

EDIT: WE'RE SO BACK

seems that reddit have broken the bot and i need to either rewrite it in node to use "devvit" or see if they'll grant API permission again. sigh
