GitHub issues for popular projects are often flooded with "+1”, "Me too”, and other unhelpful comments, making real discussions hard to track. This is a simple Google Apps Script (taking reference from https://github.com/cline/cline/discussions/581#discussioncom...), which scans your Gmail inbox for emails triggered by these "noisy” comments and automatically trashes them.

Also accompanying (as comment below the script) is browser console script to dim or hide these comments from issue discussions.

You should probably only ignore an email if it only contains one of those patterns. There might be a long, informative comment that just happens to contain "me too" of "following" somewhere...

(if my reading is wrong and that's already how it works, apologies)
