Unfollow accidents on GitHub/notifications is too darn easy

I was looking at https://ift.tt/6n0R8ve when I accidentally pressed the mouse over the [unsubscribe] bell icon twice. Did github show a confirmation dialog? Nope. It unsubscribed me from 2 random issues I'll never find again. Is there any way to recall which issues it was? Not a chance.. Not unless you had the browser console open on the Network tab before you did your mistake. I'm so fed up with Github's aging edgy cringekid javascript webdesign choices and their overridden CTRL+F search. Their site literally screams peak JavaScript/UX terrorism era of 2014-ish. Its unproductive, you can never find the right button to navigate in commit/PR views compared to the absolutely intuitive alternatives. The 30% viewport width on gist/files on HiDPI 4K screens with a height viewport that looks like an embarrased accidentally shrunken wooly sweater on short files with low line-count is absolutely terrible. Am I totally wrong about this being tasteless design? It it just me, who feels like Github feels like a time-capsule from the worst era of webdesign?
