It’s been some time since we received any updates. Will an upgrade to Lemmy 0.19 break the app?

    What attitude? Explaining that people do not do this as a main job and one cannot expect updates every week? This is how it works on average with non-commercial FOSS projects, we were lucky the dev had time invested when Lemmy got bigger a few months ago and now the app is running mostly fine. So thats when updates get less frequent, unless the dev is able to make the time. How is that a scaring attitude, its reality.

      My criticism is based on your first rhetorical question: “[…] is this your first open source software?”.

      That is the attitude I am describing. This rhetoric only works if answering yes to the question is somehow bad. It implicitly excludes newbies and enforces a kind of elitism.

      The rest of your comment is totally fine.
