Having fun is not whats discouraged.

Rather: if I'm looking for the solution for some problem, I don't want to scroll through memes, because I want to be productive, getting things done. Spam/fog in the resolution-thread obviously doesn't help with that; the opposite is the case.

Basic moderation in some form would be useful there. It’s interesting - there’s not (that I’ve seen anyway) a tremendous amount of spam or for the most part off topic conversations in in github issues. I’ve seen phishing attempts (I think) that seem to be “hey just go download and run curl ____.sh | bash” and you’ll be good to go occasionally but that sort of banter isn’t typical (at least in the circles I run in).
