    We’re not talking about a user demanding you release a flatpak build targeting their personal linux distribution running in a VM’d WSL, we’re talking about a consumer facing social app that doesn’t include the functionality for a user to delete something they added.

    You know what the acronym used for describing the most basic functional web app api is?

    CRUD - Create, Read, Update, Delete

      What we’re talking about is a complete free and open source project that’s built and maintained completely through volunteer labour.

      There are zero obligations towards the people actively using the software.

      While I agree that the functionality should exist, the devs can literally do whatever they want. Nobody is paying them.

      Edit: you’re also seeing only a single instance of a conversation. I can guarantee that the devs have been dealing with asinine and demanding users for a while now. There comes a point where your patience wears thin.
