Comment on Microsoft mangles VS Code protected properties to prevent UI customization

Comments

When people said this change was outrageous, Microsoft censored their comments, calling them "abuse".

The comment marked as abuse is a single word “outrageous” after many substantial opinions have been voiced, in a heavily-followed issue. I would mark it as spam ten out of ten times in my own repos.

Will probably start accusing people of not fostering an inclusive environment next. I love how easily this stuff can be weaponized.

I wish they (and all repo caretakers) would do this more often. Each comment notifies every person who subscribes to an issue, and if that comment adds nothing other than an information-free expression of feels that no-one other than the feeler is interested in, that notification is spam. Every moronic "+1" or "any update on this issue" or "outrageous!" could spam thousands of people.

I've had to unsubscribe from many issues I'd like to follow because of spam caused by information-free comments.
