They are just paying their respects.

What does F mean?

It's a call of duty meme, at some point your character is at a funeral and F is the action button and there is a prompt on the casket "press F to pay respects"

Strong agree on that. One person doing so was possibly amusing, everyone else jumping on the wagon is just irritating noise, and I’m not even responsible for trying to sift through that for legitimate feedback.

The point of the joke is that it's a bandwagon joke.

I disagree that it's a joke, because they're absolutely nothing funny or clever or original about it, but you're right that the point is to jump on a bandwagon, and it's intentionally ironically disrespectful of everyone's time and attention, which is also the point. It's really just a spammy childish 4chan troll.

It makes strangers type seven paragraphs when someone uses it.

That one letter to seven paragraphs ratio is pretty funny when it happens.

It's a low-effort addition to the dialogue, but it is a legitimate communication of a viewpoint. Who gets to draw the line of which comments should be nuked? (My view, the repo owner should (and maybe already has that power))

Why would somebody care about low effort dialog more than a year after the commit?

And my question to the github management is why can't any registered user report any low effort useless or offensive comment to the moderators, whoever they may be, like almost every other online discussion group outside of 4chan?

If you keep tolerating BS then the BS will keep coming. That's why quality subs need moderators in the first place.

Request a "F" emoji reaction instead.
