You can stay all you want, the best part of FOSS projects is that anyone can use and contribute. Even menial things such as messages on a FOSS social platform.
But you never answered my question. What compels you to use Lemmy, while being anti-FOSS yourself?
I don’t want you to leave, stay by all means, I just want to know.
I want to know exactly how I’m supposed to know any of that. Should I stalk you? Look at every account you have and learn everything there is to know? And who is saying your telling the truth?
Someone who touts “never making my projects open source because muh feelings” then says this has alot of double standards I think.
So to get it straight… You call people stating their preference on an open source project as being an entitled brat, while simultaneously saying you’ll never make any open source contributions while using open source because you wouldn’t like anyone disagreeing with you? That seems pretty entitled…
Good, because the attitude you have means you’ll only develop for your own use case and then call anyone else an entitled brat. We don’t want your shitty project if you’re so narrow minded. Please keep it off of repo’s and don’t risk anyone accidentally rolling it in and creating even more worthless noise.
GNOME developers seem to have some sort of a weird “vision” for their software. If your bug report falls within their vision, good for you. When your bug report doesn’t, it’s insta WONTFIX.
The FDO icon theme fiasco occurred merely a few days ago.
Did you notice that I said “merge request” earlier? Your neighbours were kindly helping you to make a cake and you responded to their kindness with GTFO.
If your code isn’t up to par, or your feature isn’t relevant enough and doesn’t fit “the vision”, it’s correct to deny it. On top of diluting the project contributed code add a maintainership cost that the random contributor will probably not be footing.
Accept everything in your cake and tomorrow it’ll be an inedible mess that nobody wants. It’s ok for software to be aimed at different people.

Guys I found the GNOME dev!

Then why are you here? The very platform your saying this on is FOSS, and it’s filled with FOSS bros.
Unironically why are you here?

Talks about gatekeep while crying about all his projects he will keep all to himself. You are a special kind of insufferable, huh?

Something tells me you’ll always have an excuse to never open-source your stuff, even after people stop being “entitled brats.”
You can be smug and feel superior all you want, in the end, any contributions you could make would be worthless anyway :)

Entitled brat? What… Have you ever seen how GNOME developers respond to some bug reports and merge requests?
Since when has reporting bugs and contributing to the project become an entitlement?

Did I say “some”? I think I did.
