Seen elsewhere on Mastodon (paraphrasing):

"... #Ubuntu is an #enshitified fork of #Debian ... "

"Because of your contributions on GitHub, two-factor authentication will be required for your account starting […]. Thank you for helping keep the ecosystem safe!"

"Hey [stupid]!
Your GitHub account was successfully signed in to but we did not recognize the location of the sign in."

How about #FUgithub?
