> On Github you're not looking for the best content
That seems like an odd assertion. Are you looking for the worst content then, or...? I can see an argument that voting would not highlight the best content, at least in some cases; I don't understand an argument that we aren't looking for the best content.
Conversely, HNews is intended as a constructive platform. Should the tools we use here not be designed to foster collaboration and constructive debate?
Disclaimer: I'm skeptical of voting both here and on Github. But I feel like the argument that the differences between the platforms are major and fundamental needs a lot more fleshing out.
