@richlv@mastodon.social @jakobbak@mastodon.social @organicmaps@fosstodon.org im sorry, i just feel very annoyed by people that think pointing out other peoples mistakes publicly is a community service. People struggle with communicating and if you want to help send a direct message.

@paul_cS@mastodon.social @jakobbak@mastodon.social @organicmaps@fosstodon.org Oh, I perceive it quite the other way - that people read announcements (not just blindly fav/boost them), and are helpful enough to share improvements. Public/private - yes, in some cases a private msg can be more appropriate, but in most cases I'd prefer a public one. It allows the original poster to fix the problem and reply with a nice message (better impression :) ). And it also allows others to see it, avoiding possibly dozens of redundant private messages.
