 @822a3c32 On one hand I get that whole idea that everyone tries to build a social network for no good reason.

On the other, they also do sell a product to enterprise customers. Maybe they disable features like that in those enterprise editions?

I can not imagine people paying money for a development platform so that their employees can be distracted with some attention grabbing.

These should be the same enterprises which often try to block twitter and Co on a company firewall. 
 @5c91d587 @822a3c32 One thing GitHub had going was the activity feed showing me things that helped me discover more code. Seeing someone I follow star another repo or make one of their own public was useful. 

That all changed with their new feed algorithm. It's now all irrelevant information.
