    what a dumb take. how do I tell a dev that there’s a bug without codeberg or something similar ? How do I see what others have encountered? how can I see what changes other people are proposing?

    we aren’t all developers who are going to look at the source code. some of us actually want to donate, report bugs, and find other users

      I guess mailing lists and something like the debian BTS is the old fashioned way, but agree that it has fallen out of time.

        I had to look up mailing lists and that feels like something right out of the 90s. There’s no way normal people use or are willing to use that. It looks terrible

          It’s actually not that bad, and I say that as a zoomer myself. Debian for example has mailing lists for many topics, where discussion happens. Then again they also use IRC for short messages.

          I still prefer web based bug tracking systems, though.
