The Xz backdoor and a near miss on the F-Droid app store show how the entitled attitude of some people in the open source community can be used to push malicious or insecure code.

    What is this “stance on mod features” that you are talking about?

      Probably the ones outlined here, which you should be aware of, given there are statements from you included in the article: https://docs.beehaw.org/docs/important-questions-decisions-and-reflections/beehaw-lemmy-and-a-vision-of-the-fediverse/

        I dont have time to read all that. The problem with Beehaw is that the admins are extremely entitled, as if we had some obligation to work for them for free. Similar to what is described in OP.

        However we are consistently improving the mod tools, and accept contributions in that area. You can see in the dev updates.

If it’s free and open source and it’s also software, it can be discussed here. Subcommunity of Technology.
