Have you ever found a GitHub project or anything that seemed nice and tempting to install until you dug a bit deeper?

What are some red flags that should detur anyone from installing and running something?

    Especially in the homebrew/modding world some even only distribute their stuff over discord. Which is an extra level of stupid. Dont think anything else can beat this.

      Stalker Gamma comes to my mind, for that you had to join a discord in order to access the launcher, that launcher would auto download and install a bunch of mods for Stalker Anomaly into one big modded game.
