Is it just me or there’s a lot of these ‘hot’ threads on GitHub lately? I don’t mean the issue at hand—validity is beside the point—but the fact is that these issues unravel on GitHub on a very predictable cadence, and Github Issues is fairly ill equipped to deal with making sense of this. So everyone just shouts at thin ether at the top of their lungs, hoping to attract some attention and answers, then it becomes an arms race. That’s a design problem - if the voting system made things become more visible, then likely fewer people would feel the need to shout. That has its own drawbacks, though. It’s a hard problem building anything remotely social. I don’t think they realised what they were putting themselves into when they were building Issues.
