This seems like click bait to me - as if Github is censoring 666. But they aren't. It's just a really weird markdown bug having to do with the '.' which immediately follows the number. It's explained in the actual SO post.

It's a cool post but it has nothing to do with censorship. Am I the only one who was misled?

Neither HN nor SO are clickbaity. The user asking the question is saying there's something creepy happening, not that GitHub is censoring.

> which immediately follows the number. It's explained in the actual SO post.

Yeah, which is why it is on HN, what's your point?

Please don't respond rudely, even if another commenter is mistaken.

I think the title was just being light-hearted.

I don't think the two are mutually exclusive. The author of that SO question likely picked a light hearted title intentionally because it was "clickbaity".
