I have no comment on #2, as I don't play in that sandbox. However, regarding #1... the interface allows people to post images in their comments on issues. This has a valid, useful reason - for showing screenshots of bugs, for example. The problem is not the interface. The problem is the people using the interface. |

1. When I sign up for updates I get spammed with notifications -- you should be able to listen only to updates from the project maintainers.
2. I can't find the official status -- again, this is a problem because the official status is buried inside a conversation thread. This could be pretty easily solved by allowing maintainers to pin comments, or by (again) allowing filtering comments by project maintainers.
3. Replies to comments get lost in the memes -- because Github issues don't support threading, and (again) there's no filter by replies or mentions.
Or...
4. Memes just make me mad because they're unprofessional -- and okay, this one is the community. But I just can't muster the energy to care about this, or to feel sympathy for the people who care about it. If we were talking about abuse, or 3rd-party unwanted advertisements, maybe I could get on board. But a gif is not a real problem.
The fact that Github has literally no searching at all on issue threads is the fault of the tool, not the community. The fact that NPM doesn't have an official status page is the fault of NPM, not the community.
