A few days ago I posted about some feature X a company was building for product Y of another company. One of the first comments was from someone who was excited that this feature was available or at least will be usable in foreseeable time. He got downvoted a gray fast. And one reply said in a very short form that there is no X for Y. I said to him that the title of the post was "X for Y" and got downvoted to -3 points. And why all this? Because 1 other person tricked people into thinking that the project was abandoned. Nobody checked if he was right. I myself apologized to the other readers. When I checked the project's mailing list I was surprised. The project was alive with the founder of the company helping users to download and install X. It's still in early development and a bit complicated. You need the right version of everything at this moment. And you need to have an account to access some parts of Y needed to compile. I asked the one who said the project is abandoned why he believes this despite an active mailing list. He made something up that wasn't topic in April or May on the mailing list. And said this was a sign of an abandoned project. Until then the whole post vanished from the front page and nobody cared anymore. Why should anybody care for the reasons you get downvoted when you can't change anything about if for most of the time?
