GitHub discussions used to be so much higher quality though when the platform was for professionals. Now, I see so many discussions that devolve into practically being reddit/4chan threads. Another reason to leave.

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.
