Have you ever been scared or hesitant about reporting flaws or bugs to a community with a strong staunch fanbase ??

Obviously there are different ways of reporting and starting discussions, but I brought up the courage to report a flaw on a subreddit (not to be named) that I knew is very sensitive to criticisme, and I was flooded with downvotes and even was subject to gaslighting, so I gave up on that software and became even more hesitant about reporting problems on other FOSS communities .

Is this mindset very prevalent among all open source communities? have you faced something similar ?

    That’s it, you’re done. Don’t keep making noise in the community, on Discord, Twitter, or wherever.

      If there’s a problem that needs to be fixed, it’s way easier to fix if all the feedback is in the same place.
