The owners and maintainers of the product get to decide on how to handle issues like this one. But I’m not convinced that an “internet catfight” is a good enough reason for shutting down the conversation completely as it was done. I am aware that it’s totally unfair that signal owners should have to deal with this kind of behavior and not take strong measure like they did... I don’t really know what a good resolution would have been. But it’s also a fact that if a system is broken in some way then that hard truth remains true even if it’s wrapped in layers of shit. The ultimate losers will be the users.

That does not to me seem like "shutting down the conversation completely". (As if there is even a way to do that on the internet if you were to try!)
- pm90 6y agoLike I said, it’s totally upto the project owners to decide how they want to interface with the community. But the concrete result of that decision was just to move the discussion to a GitHub issue on another repo.
