I know I'm just preaching to the choir here but my favourite thing about open source/published source libraries/applications is discussions on bug reports/pr's like this.

It's just something so heartwarming of multiple people coming together to describe their symptoms, workarounds and theories of what could be causing it.

GitHub discussions used to be so much higher quality though when the platform was for professionals. Now, I see so many discussions that devolve into practically being reddit/4chan threads. Another reason to leave.

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.

When was that?

I feel like it's gotten more professional. 10+ years ago people were dropping the hard R in pull request reviews, now everyone is acting like LinkedIn-speak and Stars will get them their next job

...What? Is this the Linus Sebastian misconception of what the hard R is?

		Yeeeah I'm pretty sure I've never seen a hard R on a PR.
