Finally, no more :+1:s when it's all that is being said by everyone, without much discussions...yay to less noise!

I must admit that I like those :+1:s, it shows which issues should be prioritized.

Two things here: - the +1s show some level of interest, but enough to dive in the code, so it's half interesting, and half useless - also, once you've reached a certain number of +1s....well, it's just noise and annoying. 50 +1...500+1...

Earlier quoted context omitted.

My experience with it on trac and uservoice is that it's an easy way to filter out things that exactly one person cares about, and not much more. The main benefit is that it reduces the number of spammy +1 comments you get.

@steveklabnik (since hn won't let us nest further): why not just hit the subscribe button on the right?

ProTip(tm): HN does this when you try to reply too fast. You can click 'link' to get around it, though. :)

I never saw that! Thanks. Somehow that just escaped my vision.
