Nope, it’s a culture problem. Everywhere were stuff is being made, you get what I call the proverbial twelve year old. These are emotional immature people who are unable to emphatically imagine that there is a person on the other side donating his time to create something that is useful.
They don’t see their own toxicity. If they see the roadmap and their desired feature X isn’t there, there will just be screaming about that.
- rorykoehler 6y agoAt which point you ask for a substantial sum of money to prioritise their feature (and hopefully they go away).
- newswasboring 6y agoThis is actually not a bad idea. There are already so many sponsor project like github sponsors, brave tips etc. Something like patreon can be used to solve this. You buy into a higher tier and that gives you 1 feature request. Edit: Or something like kickstarter, if enough people pledge for the issue it gets priority on roadmap. Edit: I looked up if software is being developed on patreon and... so much NSFW stuff.
- Markoff 6y agoone would think Signal can hire bunch of devs full time with 50M donation to avoid such lame excuses

- andrewflnr 6y agoI would see it as addressing the very narrow issue of accidentally "rewarding bad behavior". You can more convincingly tell people that their pet feature shipping right after their tirade had nothing to do with them. I feel like that would help me as a maintainer, if nothing else...
