100%.

I reported it to Github, supplied links to the edits and to this HN thread. The canned response was:
"Our review of the account(s) and/or content named in your report has concluded. We have determined that one or more violations of GitHub’s Terms of Service have occurred and have taken appropriate action in response."
It took 2h40m, genuinely impressed how quick the turnaround was :)
zigbook edited a 3rd party comment to say "I’m autistic and sperging out over stuff on the internet that doesn’t actually matter. Don’t mind me."
Just your run off the mill AI grifter.

"Quick research - author's actual profile is https://github.com/zk-evm, and he's a potential scammer from crypto spaces, who also happens to be running fake GitHub Organisation of the Cursor editor, along with related BuyMeACoffee claiming it being official page of the "Cursor AI Editor"."

The account is called zig-vm now.
And here's his real github account: https://github.com/gweidart
An old version of a related contact page: https://web.archive.org/web/20250320001430/https://gweidart....
lists as a donation link: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/Newcomer214
So, gweidart is probably this guy: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brandon-newcomer-7275aa228/
How did you connect this account back to the "real" account?
Well, the name of the "real" account is "zkevm.dev", and the previous account was zk-evm. Those are just letters to me, but it does seem like a clear link. Couldn't say that either is "real", though.
The account had a link to a personal website, that (for now) has links to a few social medias and the "real" account.
That's mostly just odd. Either a young teen way in over their head or a weirdly non-functional adult.
your other PR made me laugh: https://github.com/zigbook/zigbook/pull/46 absolutely wild that they had the gall to report you, lol
Fear not I've mirrored it https://web.archive.org/web/20251130091635/https%3A%2F%2Fgit...
