    The community is one of the worst aspects when working with/on opensource software.

    There are so many people with Open Source rabies…

    Combine that with all those people who don’t understand the difference between software developed by people who donate their spare time to work on FOSS software and for-profit software developed by big corporations. As a FOSS dev you get so many entitled assholes who think downloading a free app gives them the right to threaten/abuse the devs.

    And then there are the fanboys who attack everyone who talks about downsides of their favourite product.

    All in all, the hostile community makes FOSS development very not fun.
