Have you ever been scared or hesitant about reporting flaws or bugs to a community with a strong staunch fanbase ??
Obviously there are different ways of reporting and starting discussions, but I brought up the courage to report a flaw on a subreddit (not to be named) that I knew is very sensitive to criticisme, and I was flooded with downvotes and even was subject to gaslighting, so I gave up on that software and became even more hesitant about reporting problems on other FOSS communities .
Is this mindset very prevalent among all open source communities? have you faced something similar ?
I received downvotes (only) for just reporting bugs and writing feature requests. Although, top posts were always bug reports and feature requests.
Those people are fanboys with no dev experience. I guess they are so insecure they view their favorite app’s potential improvements as threats.
