Non-general purpose posts - eviltoast

This community is:

A general purpose programming community for English speakers

Language specific posts like:

are not general purpose. Posts like that ruined /r/programming for me, and this community seems to be going down the same road. I’m here to read about programming concepts that can be applied to any/most languages, not patch notes for 10 different Js frameworks posted by karma farming bots. If I wanted to read posts like that, I’d have subbed to /c/javascript…

Do you agree with me that they should be removed from /c/programming, and limited only to their respective communities? Or have I missed the point of this community?

    I’m curious what sort of content you think would be general enough to fit your criteria. I tend to disagree though.
