I think it’s turned into the place to submit work when you want as much harsh feedback as possible. You can get upvotes but need to run the gauntlet of “why isn’t it open source/here’s a better app/this is dumb” etc. Top comments are often pretty caustic, so that’s the culture we’ve built. I guess if you want to sharpen your offering really fast, this is optimal.

“Any system that forces humans to express themselves purely in ASCII, monospace, and monochrome is crude and borderline disrespectful towards human expression.”

What is the outcome you’re hoping for, by giving that feedback? Should we kill the authors now or just shun them until they give us pictures?

Edit: every single system makes choices. You either try please everyone or you choose a set of people to focus on. This one isn’t for you, and that’s ok. It may fail and that’s ok too. I don’t think it’s disrespectful to human expression, if anything it’s a form of human expression.
