The more time I spend on Lemmy the more depressed I am about its potential.
Stupid, wrong-headed comments get solid upvotes if they also hint at some popular sentiment. I even see comments that are literally unreadable nonsense get solidly upvoted, either by bots or by people who just like the vibe they feel from scanning it and don't care that it's gobbledygook. Some content makes me wonder if half of Lemmy is just LLMs barfing back and forth at each other.
Then this post is heavily upvoted, even though it's nothing more than "the syntax isn't the same as the other language(s) I have seen, waaaaa!". Is it just people like to see Go criticized? Because there are actual real issues that could be discussed.
