      Maybe some inspiration from how OpenBSD handles users requesting features.
      “No one deserves anything from us. /…/ The developers in this project do the best they can”
      or
      “If you expected any of us to reply as if we are contractors or your employees, you came to the wrong place.”

          Of course, but you missed part of the point. Open source devs are providing code for free, the least the user can do is provide bug reports without rude language/demands.

            I agree. But that goes both ways. Devs shouldn’t be rude to contributors of bug reports. And the Lemmy devs have been real assholes to most of their contributos.

            Theres a reason they have this reputation.

      Probably some sort of mix, like federated or crowd-sourcing, but either simply means more maintainers/supervisors.
