   You know what?

   100% of my empathy goes out to anyone involved in open source development, who also has to manage that project's social feeds, subreddits, or any other public-facing platform.

   You're on the front lines of endless complaining and borderline hateful criticism, and it never seems to end.

   And if you're someone dishing out that kind of behavior? Grow the fuck up, be less entitled, and try to respect the people working their ass off to make awesome free software for you.

     @killyourfm I have a very active discord server focused around asus-linux.

     I went hardline on bad behaviour right from the start and it's absolutely helped cultivate a warm welcoming environment for everyone, plus I have mods with the same values now too - take no shit.

     Your community is a reflection of you.

     @fluke I couldn't agree more! And I was able to see the effect of that firsthand when I had my own Discord server for Linux For Everyone.

     @killyourfm dont mean to traumadump or anything but as someone who got hate mail (the usual "KYS" type mail) for adding accessibility feature (window outlines) to KDE Plasma, yeah.. It can get bad.
