Github yanked away my 4 character username to hand it over to some hipster startup.

My account was 10 years old, no published repos, but consistent other activity. I don't have the desire nor the connections stir up a twitrage, but I'll certainly make their behavior known on HN.

These companies point to "inactivity", yet there is never any attempt to contact beforehand. The policy is merely a thin justification to do whatever the heck they want to suit corporate or personal employee whims.

That's SaaS (Surveillance as a Sharecropper) for ya.
