    true for open source software though, a lot of open source devs are mini dictators

    When I ran my open source project, I was discerning as to what code I’d accept from people.

    Does that make me a little dictator if I don’t want to then maintain shit code from someone who doesn’t know what a comma splice is, like above?

    Sorry if you do code better than you write.

      No, that isn’t really what I’m talking about.

      Sure, code quality matters.

      I’m talking about things like mastodon trying to push a certain outlook upon its users just because the main dev thinks they should be using it a certain way, and hating how people actually use it.

      It’s funny how you resort to personal insults to me even though I have not really to you. It’s true there are a lot of punctuation rules I do not understand. However, I would point out that this is not an english test, so it doesn’t matter.
