This is a place where you can post jokes, memes, humor, etc. related to programming!
For sharing awful code theres also Programming Horror.
Who follows users on GitHub? Repos, branches, issues, PRs, sure. But users?
I follow TodePond because they have funny repos and star weird stuff.
Some people (like myself and other scientists/mathematicians), write software for specific fields so if you follow them you find it out what work they are putting out, and issues they find in other software etc.
I have 13 followers on GitHub. A few are friends from college, the rest I have absolutely no clue why.
