Credit to you. Many complained, but you went out of your way to solve the problems. The output here has real value. Thanks.

Can be. I virtually never have issues with OpenSuse TW. Ridiculously stable.

Not useful feedback, so apologies in advance.

While Rustaceons want to rebuild everything in Rust, web devs rebuild everything in Node and js. I personally hate it. A few open source projects I care about are in is and I just cannot. Hate the language except for front end dynamic web page stuff where there is no real alternative.

So how does not running a virtual soapbox that is niche and most do not care about affect the public’s ability to participate in the internet from where they are?

I’m not sure if you didn’t understand the point or are cherry picking words to satiate your feelings?

Does it matter that they don’t run an instance?

As long as they have accounts and keep them up to date, that is the main thing.

How many open source projects actually run and moderate instances?
