My opinion: let’s separate the software and the people making it. If it’s great tool and FOSS why not use it? You use software, not people.
EDIT: I know that FOSS heavily relies on community but also that’s the point. I don’t see how toxic comminity can progress further while more open minded and kind fork will be a better choice of the same software base.
The thing about Foss is that it’s typically community oriented. You are not only able to contribute and participate, but you’re invited to do so.
And if you’re an asshole and your community is toxic then who cares if your code is good? There are other projects I’d rather participate in. Cuz you’re not that good.
“Let’s remove the social element of our social movement”
Great so what’s left at that point, the free value FOSS provides to corporations?
Having a tool that can be used greatly without restrictions without any additional bullshit. For me that’s FOSS but I know that when comes to maturity and development community is the main component of great end product.
I didn’t write about its user base, I wrote about its community – the cesspool that engages among each other. That said, the moment someone opens a bug report, there’s a real chance that person gets harassed.
That’s absolutely sucks I agree…
