    How so? It’s one of the things I check in addition to last update, etc.

      Douchey little popularity contests do not mean code is good. It’s misleading just like upvotes. It’s just what social media loving developers do. Most respectable (not all) projects avoid making a big deal out of it. It already shows it on GitHub. Why show it again? To be douchey?

        do not mean code is good

        I guess I just don’t see it as douchey. To me is says, ‘hey this might be worth checking out.’ Besides Lemmy and a couple of long standing forums, I really don’t do social media so perhaps I not as jaded.
