I’ve seen the exact same assholes in this community. They’ll argue on one hand that it’s not too complicated, then openly push back against any UI improvement because they don’t want more people moving into their niche. Gatekeeping turds.
Example? Why are there always people who can find these unicorns and I never seem to run into them.
Or are you being extreme in calling gatekeeping because they feel they don’t need the GUI, because it just works? Someone argued with me about how a GUI is necessary for everything and frankly it is the slowest way to convey information and the least accurate.
But if YOU want a GUI, welcome to open source, and feel free to implement it.
Point is, I don’t think people are trying to gatekeep, or hold onto their niche, it just doesn’t make sense or scratch their own itch.
You have seen, in this sub, about Linux Memes in your words: “Gatekeeping Turds … who push back on UI improvements because they dont want people moving into their niche.”
Yeah. Right. This is exactly the place you have found a group of people who do not want you to make changes because they are defending… checks notes… the “niche” of open source software.
Yeah, I am thinking this might be a you problem. And I am trying to say this in a nice way: anyone can made that change. Asking someone else to do it may get push back, but that is any software development. Effort vs reward. But to claim the want to hold onto a niche… in open source? Uh… ok.
Yeah. Blocked. A thing I have never done in 12 years at reddit or here.
So this person doesn’t want a conversation, and immediately goes to blocked while calling people names.
Yep it is a them problem.
And I always find it so strange, because when did people not be able to disagree? I have disagreed with some on on one topic and then found them in another forum being brilliant about that other thing.
This blocked, I never want to see or talk to you again, is something so new to me.
In the old days I would have just assume they are trolling. I am beginning to wonder if that isn’t their plan afterall.
If you don’t like a particular piece of software move on to something else. It is entirely up to the dev since it is ultimately there project. They owe nothing to you and demanding things does nothing but annoy everyone.

I’ve seen it in this very sub. But I’m not gonna hunt down the comments.

No worry dude. You don’t have to believe it. Now that you’re gonna be blocked, you won’t even have to see it.

I’m gonna point out the reluctance to improve the user experience to those who complain at the low number of user migrations. Try and stop me.
