In my experience in the Linux Discord communities (especially the openSUSE one), I have dealt with *many* complaints about the mailing lists, and people being afraid to contribute because of how people respond on the lists.
Is there an archive anywhere where one can go educate oneself in this respect? I find it quite odd that someone should refrain from contributing just because of a poor response on a mailing list.
Personally speaking, my "itch" does not subside just because I am poorly received somewhere, I still wanna scratch it :-)
Neal, IMHO it is just a little too easy to announce that you "have dealt with *many* complaints about the mailing lists" and then scolding the mailing list members without any further evidence.
Each communication channel has it's own "atmosphere", some are tough and direct, others less so. There are learning curves, we all have to scale them.
I don't personally have one that I can offer, most of it was through private chats on Discord, but it has also come up in the main channels on the openSUSE Discord community. Myself, Stasiek, Knurpht, and Maurizio have talked to people publicly and privately about it. As the public chats are indexed and searchable from the Discord client, you can search for discussions about this there. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth!
