Then remove upvoting, if for example you, the architect of the world, are the one deciding what is and isn’t added value. In that case, upvoting isn’t even necessary.

I thought that if something has no value, it won’t be upvoted or discussed, so practically no one will see it.

If "dupe" usually means a duplicate discussion, then marking something as a dupe where there isn’t even a discussion yet, and according to you it has no value/substance, so there won’t be any, is nonsense.

I'm just waiting for shadow bans, because of supporting the elites and every hype at the expense of the herd, actually, I wouldn't be surprised if it was already happening here too.

With this approach, we could actually mark all posts that comment on or describe the same topic, for example, what an immutable variable in Rust is, as DUPE.

I also use something like printf() from the beginning, just with a shorter name, and its printing is conditional, so I usually don't remove it from the code. :)
