Put it this way: If you took a thread talking about some tech from a joke community, and a thread about the same topic from a generic technology community, you won't be able to tell them apart. People will bring the same energy and mindset to both. Jokes and "lol get rekt company I hate" will be pushed to the top, because they totally contribute to the discussion, while basic observations like "removing functionality is bad" will be pushed down. ๐Ÿ‘

I'm aware of that, but it's worth highlighting the double standard anyway.
