@BrodieOnLinux such a weak statement. The reality is that fans of yours are congregating in your comment section and directing vitriol and hatred towards a FOSS developer. It's harassment.
The onus is not on the affected developer, nor the community you refer to, to expect and mitigate abuse coming from inside your house. You have an obligation to play an active role in stopping it. Tell your fans this behaviour isn't okay, directly.
