- DANmode 6mo agoAll of them? Why are you on a platform open to accepting them in the first place? Are we talking about the same thing?
- seba_dos1 6mo agoYes, all of them if you want to. It's 100% up to you whether and how you deal with other people and their contributions, and it's completely orthogonal to being FLOSS or using a git hosting.
- DANmode 6mo agoThen the thread feels a little tangential, because you don’t have to “drive a hard line”, to do that, you just draw it once (publish a no PR policy, don’t host on GH, etc), and you shouldn’t be hearing from users.
- seba_dos1 6mo agoThat's just one way to do it. Even if you let them send you PRs or whatever, you can still act on them or not depending on how they behave, your available resources, health, mood or just whim. You don't owe anyone anything and "creating a community around a project" is not a goal you have to be striving for regardless of whether you take contributions or provide some user support or not.
- josephg 6mo agoThe central freedom provided by opensource software maintainers is the fork button. Not the “merge pull request” button. Git hosting provides discoverability and the ability to fork repositories. Everything else is an optional feature.
