I'm really not impressed to see some accounts with a large follower count rant against open source projects largely built by volunteers.

Dragging volunteers in the mud and making false assumptions about projects and their dynamics is immature and harmful.

Let's all remember that most open source projects suffer from chronic underfunding and understaffing.

Normalise kindness and encouragement. We're all small, trying to build a bigger something.

@thibaultamartin I wonder what that looks like. Are you talking about several things?

Example: Free/OSS users coming to a web forum to complain and make demands on the developers time. Demanding features as though the user were customer in a traditional market arrangement.

This is the reason I never look on the web for any help with free/oss or Linux, because 95% of the people are whining and demanding things.
