   There is far too much 'walking on eggshells" in #OpenSource, mostly because the power lies with the people that are the most easily offended. I've been clobbered for saying the "#UX of opensource isn't great". The advice is always the same:
   * Go slow
   * Don't rock the boat
   * Make small changes

   That is great advice, for a dysfunctional relationship. To be clear, I'm NOT saying be dictatorial! I'm saying we can't fix a system that doesn't want to be fixed.

     @multiverseofbadness @laurenshof I found that thread and it appears to be pointed specifically at Mastodon and it's (originally) minimalist design philosophy. I'm talking about a problem that affects ALL software (including corp sw). However corp software, more often than not, at least tries to do good UX design, FOSS on average, still considers it an afterthought (or more often just 'pretty icons')
