The comment was exactly in that ironic spirit. The internet version or a slow clap for someone who did something completely useless for the sole purpose of virtual signaling.
If someone runs around on github doing such nonsense "work" editing text no one ever reads you dont deserve more than a ironic acknowledgement. Its like writing ToS that no one reads but replace the salary of a lawyer with people laughing at you for doing this sh*t in your free time (I sure hope no one pays for it).
>I can't be the only one looking at all this political garbage and ghost drama with shame.
This is not political its cultural and everyone outside the US laughs about it.
- seoulmetro 5y agoPolitics is part of the culture in the US. And yes, they laugh about it.... but then they slowly devolve into catering towards it and existing within it.
- raxxorrax 5y agoI don't think you should ever demonize trivial contributions. I really dislike any COC or even the intent to further "professionalism" but that is another matter. You will never lose anything if someone contributes, however small the change may be. I have a project with an extremely narrow purpose. Someone corrected a missing dot in a sentence. That was awesome and unexpected.
- noxer 5y agoFixing a missing dot has infinitely more real value than changing something that has no use at all to something different that still has no use. Nothing wrong with trivial contribution but these are contribution that just waste peoples time so a small group of people can get a dopamine reward out of it.
