> We lost 3800 stars on Github in 1 click

Last time I checked changing repository visibility required confirmation and manually typing in the name of the repository to confirm. So it's not exactly "one click".

I also just reviewed the message being shown, it does state that stars are lost:

> You will permanently lose: All stars and watchers of this repository.
