being a FOSS dev is a life of seeing people reposting how FOSS is trash and devs should be ashamed right next to reposts of FOSS is thankless work and someone should make this less shitty somehow, who could do it, both of them right on your timeline, on the regular
it's cool, it's good
@neauoire I dunno, rageposting is so easy, everyone does it, including me. It's just the easiest, laziest thing to do. It gets you all the internet points. Whoops.
@cwebber Just remember that you're fighting the good fight and no one can stop you.
I do like the posts I sometimes get from fans who say "I really like how you deal with some of the Inkscape shitposts, you don't always get a positive response, but sometimes you do"
I don't mind if a person shits all over Inkscape. But there are some swearwords I really hate: "freeware", "should", "just" and "gratis". Because they undermine a healthy relationship between participating user and serving developer with a toxic "it's freeware! you should just make this feature gratis!"
@cwebber
people casting around for "if only there was something that did [x]" but you actually already wrote thing that does x but in a slightly different way than they were imagining
@cwebber
actually no, you already wrote thing that makes the entire category of [x] no longer a problem, but because it's in a different problem domain (because the domain should no longer exist) it doesn't count
@cwebber Some things never change. :(
@cwebber curating a good timeline is part of healthy FOSS development mindset
