alt Hacker NewsOnly tangentially related: Is there some joke/meme I'm not aware of? The github comment thread is flooded with identical comments like "Thanks, that helped!", "Thanks for the tip!", and "This was the answer I was looking for."
Since they all seem positive, it doesn't seem like an attack but I thought the general etiquette for github issues was to use the emoji reactions to show support so the comment thread only contains substantive comments.

Bots to flood the discussion to prevent any actual conversation.
