The social experience of upstream #FLOSS desktop software maintainers:
You're a potato farmer calling out the shop managers who keep moldy potato bags on shelves years past the expiry date, with your farm's brand prominently on the potato bag, and you get yelled at by the janitor for sternly asking the supermarket's management to comply with food safety regulations.
Wait… I just ruined #FreeDesktop devs' fantasy of becoming farmers, did I? 🤔

Believing the shop managers blaming delivery truck drivers, the supermarket's customers order chips delivered by a "Large Lorry Model" 
Meanwhile, a group of anarcho-syndicalist farmers are building entire farmers' markets to replace the established supermarkets' management by Very Small Shell Scripts™ just to prove a point, filling immutable shelves with flat-packed goods and a JIT fast-moving inventory.
