If a developer wants to make a project available for public use and not provide support or allow a community to develop and fill that gap, they should at least blatantly state on the project page they aren’t willing to provide support and the project will always be as-is.
If even that’s too cumbersome for them, then I’ll say it, yeah they should pack up their toys and gtfo. That’s just operating in bad faith and they should seek different avenues if they want to continue developing, or hell, make their repos private and inaccessible to the public.
First time I see someone trying to dictate to other people what code they can and can't make public. Nice. Should we start banning repos that don't provide adequate support and information? Fuck their freedom of expression unless we can make full use of their work, right?
Your argument is in bad faith. No one said “ban” but you. In regards to their free speech, I think you might be forgetting that technically in the US, free speech is protected from government actions NOT those of private entities or individual members of the public. It wouldn’t be inappropriate at all if the FOSS community gave devs like the one described the proverbial boot.
That doesn't mean "ban"? If this means "keep publishing your code the way you want and where you want" then there is some language barrier here.
ban - To refuse to allow (someone) to do something, go somewhere, or be a participant; exclude.
"You're not banned from this community but get the fuck out". That sounds weird to me.
So what does "get the fuck out" mean to you in this context?
Just to be clear, still not taking about banning, right? Just about kicking someone out of the community?
I'm not taking about freedom of speech by freedom of expression. The idea that I may have an app I build for personal use, I publish the code on github in case someone else want to use it, just take a look at the code to learn something or modify it for their needs and a guy like you shows up and says "you have to accept my issue report and fix it or say on your website that you don't provide support. Get the fuck out otherwise, your project can't be FOSS" is just insane to me. If that doesn't sound insane to you then we have a fundamental disagreement about what FOSS is.
