Hi, I noticed that your project recently gained a very large number of stars in a short period of time, which looks quite unnatural. This kind of sudden growth often suggests the possibility of artificially inflating popularity through star-buying or other unethical methods.

As an open source community, we value transparency and genuine contributions. While gaining visibility is important, resorting to fake engagement ultimately harms the project's reputation and the trust of the community.

I would kindly suggest you reflect on this and, if there's been any mistake, take steps to rectify it. Acknowledging and addressing it would show maturity and respect for the open source ecosystem. Let's focus on building something truly meaningful and impactful.

Thanks for understanding.
