One of my least favourite dynamics in open-source is when mismanagement by project leaders results in brokenness for years that frustrates contributors, and because the contributors do not have the agency over the process necessary to fix those issues, tension starts building and they start lashing out and attacking each other instead
@petrichor @joepie91 Yeah. Tells you everything you need to know...
@joepie91 Applies to way more than just open source, tbh. Be an incompetent government and enjoy people infighting because the only thing they can do is argue to the death about how to solve the issue, cos no one has agency to solve issues.
