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.

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)

To be fair, a lot of the users spamming and feature begging on github today are 13 right now
