i really question the approach of trying to police the development process of a repo you have never and will never contribute to

while on the topic
protest forks that do nothing but rename the project/readme only to then go fully abandoned/only merging upstream are extremely pathetic

virtue signalling but software

you have two options:
- be nice to maintainers and use their repo
- do the work yourself
both are perfectly acceptable choices. not doing the work and being a cunt is bad

the amount of times ive seen someone fork a project into a funny name that TOTALLY OWNS those evil stupid original maintainers and then not do anything except CTRL+R the readme is insane

like the only successful fork born this way I can think of is forgejo and MariaDB

@privateger MariaDB had the big advantage of being owned by the creator of MySQL

@dakkar true
technically nextcloud is also a fork, but that doesn't really count imo
