A popularity contest is based on competition and can be exclusionary. In this case, it's not about saying “which user is better than X user”, it's only about thanking them for their contribution (at least that's how I have interpreted it).
I personally don't see it as a popularity contest. I see it more as an opportunity to show appreciation to other users of this community.
In your comments you show that you know a lot about free software, programming languages and the Fediverse in general (I have learned a lot here thanks to people like you) and you seem like a friendly person :D
You usually make very interesting comments about open source software, you are very friendly with the community, and you contribute a lot to Lemmy. So yeah, imo you deserve it :)
These are for me the most interesting users to read about (among others, I mean I would put more, but the list would be too long!)
Rust es rápido y eficiente con la memoria (viene sin runtime, ni colector de basura). También tiene un sistema de tipos y un modelo de propiedad (ownership) que garantizan seguridad de memoria y seguridad de hilos, que le permiten al desarrollador eliminar muchas clases de bugs en tiempo de compilación. Además la comunidad es maravillosa, la documentación es excelente y el rendimiento es a veces superior con Rust que con C++. Aparte de eso, Rust es un lenguaje de programación más «verde» que C++.
