Maybe I'm blind, but what's the issue here? Users (that are GitHub usernames by the way) and commits (posts) are public. This is not a security concern whatsoever.

You’re not blind. I also only see public data here in the sitemap. From an seo perspective I don’t think this is necessary with a social network but I don’t see any issues of substance with it.

https://x.com/sitemap.xml (listed in robots.txt but doesn't work for me)

https://www.facebook.com/robots.txt (186 sitemap files listed, none are accessible to me)

Perhaps these require an "acceptable browser" and/or an account

Why sitemap URLs. Because I'm a sitemaps user; I use sitemap files every day

The /dev/null ones seem to be easily accessible. Unlike some other "social networks"

wow, very secure..

lol, outstanding
