But in all seriousness, Drew should spend time creating and living in communities with standards he likes, and stay out of those he doesn't. Nobody is being doxxed here, nobody is being harassed outside the community, from what I can tell nothing serious has occurred here except that the discourse in this community is not to Drew's liking

- bryanlarsen 3y agoAs the creator of wlroots, this is Drew's community whether he likes it or not.
- SuperNinKenDo 3y agoI get what you're saying, but it's really not the case. wlroots and Hyprland are not the same thing just because Hyprland builds on wlroots. Nor are their respective communities just because there may be overlap in members.
- bryanlarsen 3y agoAn open source project like wlroots is a massive labor of love, and it becomes part of ones identity. You're in essence asking Drew to abandon it. In other words, you're asking him to rip out part of his soul.
- SuperNinKenDo 3y agoI don't really see any of that in my comment. And to be honest I don't even see the other side of it in Drew's post. Hyprland isn't even the main, let alone only compositor using wlroots. I think you're going for dramatic effect that really doesn't land.
- bryanlarsen 3y agoHow is Drew supposed to make wlroots better without participating in the community of wlroots' users? And improvements come from looking at all uses and generalizing across them rather than looking at a subset. If he ignores HyperLand and makes a change that impairs Hyprlands' usage of wlroots, the HyprLand community will very loudly show up in the wlroots issue trackers, etc.
- SuperNinKenDo 3y agoAt which point Drew can run his community the way he sees fit.
- friend_and_foe 3y agoThe nature of FOSS is that you don't get to decide what people do with what you build after you give it to them. Nobody's asking him to abandon it, only to acknowledge that people are going to use it, even people he doesn't like, for projects, even projects he doesn't like. If not being able to tell people how to act while using your software is a deal breaker, FOSS isn't for you, you probably want a ToS instead.
