Close issues due to spam.

Maybe just disable issues for now?

There's actually a GitHub feature to disable everything for 24 hours for exactly this kind of scenario

I agree, these clowns are already tired

[oskarbarcz]

Woah, nobody expected Chinese inquisition here :p

[Msprg]

Is it just me, or really nobody is actually doing anything with this spam? I mean why nobody actually does something, I don't understand where is the problem of disabling issues or something...

Well, it is 5am in China.

I of course can't speak for Don Ho, but I believe the purpose was to spread awareness to the fact that China is currently keeping 1-3 million Uyghurs in Concentration Camps where they are subject to rape, torture and human experiments. For crimes that include having WhatsApp installed on the phone, knowing people living abroad, and whatnot.

It's deeply disturbing and disheartening that Chinese developers would attack him for that, and while it's unfortunate that there are hundreds of issues filled with personal attacks, memes and spam, then closing them now, rather than waiting a couple of days, would be counterproductive. A lot of people, including Chinese, are being redirected to this project from Hacker News, Reddit, Weibo, WeChat, etc. I suspect many news sites and blogs will pick it up as well.

GitHub isn't banned in China, so it's the perfect place to raise awareness, especially now that thousands of Chinese people are being redirected to this project. It's currently midnight in China, so they will likely return in a few hours.

If you're from China, please take a moment to educate yourself on what's happening in Xinjiang and Hong Kong. I realize it's difficult to get access to truthful and uncensored information within China, and that every day the censorship become worse and worse. I have therefore mirrored relevant articles and videos to GitHub here: https://github.com/taibangle/awesome-china.

I agree with @Ertego. Please restrict this repository for 24 hours (and renew as necessary) to pre-existing contributors. That will limit everything.
