Pointless tribalism in FOSS
I’m not talking about critique. Assholes of the world love to pretend their behavior is “critique” but rest of us know that’s not how it works. If it uses inflammatory language and insults, it’s not critique.
I for sure ignore any complaints about my games and projects that start with telling me off, either directly or indirectly. I do not care at that point. Seethe.
Sure this is more an internet/human problem in general, but there’s nothing to gain from this, especially in FOSS world. We’re a small community, trying to survive against big money corporations. FOSS projects don’t suddenly get more money if people go “X is better and Y users are dumby smelly.” There just is no reason to be an ass about any of this.
Why jeopardise all these years of survival for some shit-talk?
The usual one is the GNOME vs KDE “debate”, that is so pointless I don’t even understand why it exists.
The answer to these “debates” is simple: Try all desktop environments that interest you. Stick with the one that you like best.
No need to bring flamewars into this. Completely pointless.
