@aks@scalie.zone for transparency, there are some things I personally disagree with this article: > This saddens me because the miscommunication was preventable I disagree, and I explained why in the article. At the beginning, I would say, I was very calm and straight to the point. I was reiterating the same thing but that kept getting dodged. Even before that, there were multiple conversations with the packager but that never went anywhere. I also write the following in the article: > you have two choices: > > 1. You kindly ask, and nothing happens apart from your own time and energy getting wasted for a considerable amount of time, with constant red herring or silence. > 2. You start acting like a ‘dick’, and now they use this as an excuse to no longer communicate with you, all the while still refusing to address the underlying issue. And I stand by this. Secondly, Nate suggests to set up a bot. No, the #1 thing people hate with asking for support is having a bot sharing garbage information and not being able to talk to a person. This is no different and is inherently inhumane. Additionally, the maintainers have to put on the responsibility to keep the bot updated to make sure that the message is being communicated properly, and regularly update. Edit: I checked the definition of "inhumane" and I realized that this was not the word I was looking for. The word I am looking for is one that describes as "there's no human interaction involved" (in a negative connotation)
