I run multiple containers from a single dev, and I could switch to someone else's images, but it's a hassle. Once I ran into an issue, I realized the sole support is provided on Discord. Which, whatever, I think it's awful because it's not openly searchable on the internet, but it's his choice. However, what I found extremely dumb is ALL announcements, changelogs, including breaking changes, are posted exclusively on his Discord server. Nowhere else. And he acts all pissy about people stumbling into the server for help and not finding the exact announcement, and being trigger happy with the bans. I get people being dumb and not reading basic instructions, but this goes beyond that. Your whole fucking operation is on a closed Discord server with subpar search function.

    How much do you donate to his project?

    Developing a FOSS project does not absolve you of any and all responsibility to not be shitty. In order for the system to work, everyone involved (developers and users alike) should be stewards of the commons.

    What if someone is simply bad at dealing with people or have very limited time and can't provide adequate support. Should they stop developing?

    That is in no way related to what I said.

    I meant someone who is bad at dealing with people and is perceived as "shitty", i.e. is not a "steward of the commons". It's still their responsibility when developing FOSS so they should stop if they are not able to do it?

    The documentation is already posted on the discord.

    Just post it on github, where the code resides already.

    Github is owned by Microsoft. You should move all your repos to gitlab.

    That's not the point I am making.

    Github at this point isn't a good choice. The issue OP is having is that the documentation (changelogs, updates, etc) are solely on discord.

    The documentation is done, and the maintainer only needs to take 5 mins and post it on the git repo as well.

    Since apparently we're allowed to make demands of FOSS projects now I'm saying I don't want to use github so move it to gitlab or close you're project. The code is done, just push it to a different repo.

    I feel like you're being dense on purpose, judging by the replies you posted in the thread. You're just trying to derail conversations.

    The work is already done, just post it in both places and everyone is happy. Literally 5 mins of work.
