Only on those posted to social media including Hacker News. There is no devolving into memes for niche discussions only interested parties know about.
Don’t blame Github for getting spammed whenever an issue reaches the front page.
I wish HN would ban posting links to issue trackers with comment sections, like lobsters has done. Although the spam volume from HN and reddit is pretty small compared to that from youtube reaction video influencers
Not only. I see it across all of GitHub. Spam, +1 comments, feature begging are all particularly common.
Feature begging on GH has been a thing since forever, I remember plenty of it 10 years ago.
Hell, I remember feature begging on developer mailing lists myself 20+ years ago. (To be fair I was 13 at the time)
