@Mastodon @Gargron so when are you gonna fix hot issues, most notably #developers / #maintainers of #Mastodon who just close issues without reading them!

Blocklist Feed Support · Issue #28605 · mastodon/mastodon

Pitch Besides manually adding a CSV file for blocks under /settings/imports , the option to automatically pull and update / overwrite blocklists would be greatly appreciated. This could also provid...

@kkarhan You wrote so much. holy shit. Nobody got time to read that.

@hisold Not sorry, because I do actually care about #Mastodon and the #Fediverse so I am invested in it getting better.

  • It's just really annoying when one has to fight against stubborn maintainers who refuse to actually read stuff and close an issue like some underpaid #CallcenterAgent / #TechSupport person being paid solely per closed ticket, and not to actually fix issues.
    • Cuz yes I've seen that from the inside and it's sickening!

If you want everything to be criminally simplified to fit the attention span of some shitty billionaire egoist, then maybe #Shitter has you covered.

@kkarhan @hisold

yeah but you won't get movement by yelling at mastodon devs

you have to contribute to the project yourself, or adopt a more circumspect approach

people who make loud angry demands do not help. they are in no position to have any leverage: open source is not a hierarchy, it's not like you're in the office and you call up a boss and they make things happen

i'm not really disagreeing with you, and you're really not yelling

but i do see this behavior unfortunately out there

@benroyce @kkarhan I've opened many issues on open source projects.
What really annoys me is wrong duplicate classifications. Many of which I do blame on laziness.

When I see they have a thousand open issues, I know there won't be happening much in the coming months. I know what it's like for them because it's the same at my work. A hundred User Stories that become 500 tasks plus 200 bugs following them and so on...

@hisold @benroyce exactly that is my problem....

I can accept that my issue won't be worked on anytime soon.

  • Or not get any traction at all for years.

But I can accept 10+ year old, low-priority issues being open instead of lazy-ass shite.

@kkarhan @benroyce @fuchsiii Yes but you wrote so much fucking text, nobody got time to read all of that to make an informed decision. The temptation to TLDR everything with an LLM is just too damn high. Write more dense.
Show threadKevin Karhan Mar 3

@hisold @benroyce I write as dense as possible, but certain issues need explaining, including why it's not a duplicate and why this is an issue...

  • If projects can't be assed to do that then maybe they shouldn't do Software to begin with, close issues entirely or paywall Support and hire someone to do it. instead.
    • Cuz then at least someone halfway motivated is actually trying to make it work.

Do I sound jaded?

  • Sorry if this sounds like venting. but it had to be said...
