问HN：GitHub 是否移除了星标列表？
GitHub似乎正在继续（1）废弃星标信息。首先，观星者列表对未登录用户隐藏，现在仓库页面上的主要观星者链接也消失了。<i>/stargazers</i> 返回404（2），除非你拥有该仓库。
我知道很多人说星标并不是真正的信号，但它们确实是：它们使得检测购买星标的迹象成为可能。一些第三方服务甚至显示了仓库星标的地理分布，这样你就可以判断它们是否看起来是假的。
关键是无论GitHub提供什么理由，结果都是一样的：要么GitHub对机器人防范能力不足，要么它宁愿自己控制这些信号，而不让外部人员进行审计。

GitHub seems to be continuing (1) to deprecate star information. First the stargazers list was hidden from logged-out users, and now the main stargazers link on repo pages has disappeared too. <i>/stargazers</i> returns a 404 (2) unless you own the repo.<p>I know many people say stars aren't a real signal, but they were: they made it possible to detect signs of bought stars. Some third-party services even showed the geographic distribution of a repo's stars so you could judge whether they looked fake.<p>The main point is that whatever reasoning GitHub offers, the outcome is the same: either GitHub is weak against bots, or it would rather control these signals itself, with no way for outsiders to audit them.<p>1. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48821803<p>2. https://github.com/tirrenotechnologies/tirreno/stargazers
