Although it works out for these developers I hate that people can do this to avoid the full consequences of their actions.
If I’m posting I’m probably high so don’t hate on me

Fair enough, I wasn’t intending to offend anyone.
If Matrix could compete on both a quality and inertia level I’d use it instead of Discord. I’ve spent many hours on IRC too. What matters is where the users are and I’d rather spend my time developing software, not doing admin.
Why are you so angry over an opinion different to your own?
I never said it’s never going to make it, I said I care about what works for the majority with the least amount of friction.
If you took that as a personal attack that’s on you.
The you’re free to use it, that’s the great thing about choice.
The article is wrong, you disrespect your users by forcing them to use a platform that they otherwise wouldn’t just to engage with you. Github isn’t free either, but the majority of us use it for free software too.
It could install itself and I still wouldn’t use it. Nobody I care about is on there and inertia is important too. This has been true since the dawn of real-time communications platforms and isn’t going to change either.
Any non-trivial support enquiries should be directed to log a bug report/formal support request regardless of the community platform you’re using. Discord isn’t any worse than IRC in this regard and we’ve been offering support via the latter forever.
Matrix sucks, that’s why most people won’t use it. I’m already giving my software away for free and providing free support for it, why would I want to take up even more of my free time running and maintaining a Matrix server as well?
Sure, I could use an already available Matrix server but I already have a Discord account, all my friends and contributors do as well and the entire thing is easy to set up and use, plus I’m already running the Discord client too.
On top of this, the argument about searchability is irrelevant. Projects have been giving support via IRC forever which has all the same problems. The best thing to do for any non-trivial support inquiries is to direct the user to lodge a support ticket and always has been.
Matrix just isn’t a compelling option, even if it had feature parity with Discord and was easier to use, it doesn’t have any real inertia anyway.
How long until this trickles down into the major distros?
It’s happenend with the AUR too.
Snaps however have a certain expectation that newer/inexperienced users should be able to trust them.
That happened in 2012 and a lot has changed with Linus since then.
Joplin
I sync it with onedrive basically for free between my phone, laptop and computer. It’s wysiwyg editor means it was basically a drop in replacement for EverNote for me, but open source and without the costs.
It’s not extreme. This is an opinion piece posted on OMGUbuntu, so I’ll let you figure out where their biases lie.
Mint.
You don’t have to vote in Australia. You just have to show up so it proves you were able to vote without impediment if you so choose to. You could draw a penis on it if you even could be bothered.
Voting typically takes place over a weekend in Australia and you have plenty of time to do it. You can also postal vote or absentee vote in advance fairly easily if you wish too. Polling places are literally like every school so there’s always one nearby too.
Joplin with any of the dozen or so sync services it supports out of the box.
It’s been a while so I’m not entirely certain. I just know that they were unique to Suse and no other distro gave me the same problems.
Suse, every time I’ve tried it I’ve just been like yeah, nah after running into some weird issue.
