I wish more people would understand that different people use their computers for different things. For me, gnome is unusable. This is not hyperbolic, I literally cannot use my computer for the things I want to use my computer for in gnome. But that doesn't imply you will have the same experience. Don't be so reflexively dismissive when people give feedback.

We gotta find a middle ground between "the customer is always right" and "it's open source, fuck you"

@dotstdy
The simple answer is that you are not a customer if you are not paying for the product. -

@dotstdy I just don't know if there's room enough for a company to come in to both develop open source software features and to sell it as a product.
Maybe some sort of per feature crowd funding might be more appropriate? -

I just mean generally though, even if you're working for free, there's no point having an adversarial relationship with your users. Especially not if you're a capital P Project with lots of contributors and users. It's just super unhealthy.

@dotstdy Ah, I was talking more generally about starting a company to write and sell versions of open source software with features that customers want, and not about particular projects.

@dominikg @dotstdy this only works up to a certain extent if the changes don't get upstreamed and/or the modified version doesn't get enough of a userbase to warrant its maintenance, because over time (and in certain areas that's relatively quickly) it will lapse and become incompatible with the rest of the ecosystem.

django@social.coop yes, that could be one use case, but what I want to stress is that a topic belonging to a category should stay in that category.
For example, if a topic "PieFed is great" is started on fediverse@piefed.social, it wouldn't be right (nor would I really be able to) move that topic to fediverse@lemmy.world — I don't own either of them!
So to de-duplicate topics or move them around based on my personal liking is possible, but goes against the reality that a specific topic is a member of a specific community.
It's more a restriction out of principle than anything.
Now, if one were to put together a proper cross-posting FEP and it were adopted by the threadiverse implementors, then we'd really be cookin'.

@misty it would still be better than a total loss, but still catastrophically incomplete.
I can envision this being fixable with some kind of “object move” that servers recognize so that they can edit the in-reply-to etc to keep threads intact, even though plain URLs inside would still be broken.
Or maybe we need some other kind of “global derefernceable IDs” for the objects? Do the FEPs for nomadic identities support something like that?
