      i dont see it, i do roll my eyes everytime is see people suggesting that we are somehow required to adopt the culture and ideology of the developer of a project.

      its like people are really seeing opensource for the first time and are applying broken logic

        It can make sense when the project is small. The developer of a project can have a large voice and you might have to work with them. The massive growth of Lemmy and the federated nature makes the issue moot.

          to a degree, lots of people stopped caring about linus’s opinion on things shortly after compiling the kernel the first time. A more recent project i was on had its creator run out due to him being too controlling the PR list.

          at the scale of the fediverse the attitude really does surprise me.
