Comment on Question for those of you using Matrix/Commet
bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works 11 hours agoThat’s a bummer. Guess I’ll have to use both applications and ping pong for chat vs voice…
It sucks these aren’t things that are in the base program, because this is what makes a lot of people run away from Foss, when it lacks SUPER basic features we’ve had for more than 15 years… But I get they do it for free. I feel like a lot of these type of projects need a real world person to explain to them what Normies demand…
No hate on the devs. This is something I notice with a ton of Foss projects, just total misses on things that make the programs unusable to many people and keeps them on discord because “commet sucks, you can’t even mute someone or adjust their volume”.

It doesnt come from a place of not listening to real users.
Most open source projects are hobbies. Tools that they want to use themselves, so thats who they build for. Themselves.
We just get to come for the ride and use what they built for free.
That’s why you see this a lot.

I totally get that. I can’t complain. But it’d be nice if I could be like hey, me and my friend will both give you “x” amount of dollars to someday code this in, depending on difficulty…
Either way I’ll donate to em.
This is just a hard thing to explain to non nerds. They all say “wait why doesn’t it have that? Discord has it. Discord is better” and then we have the mess we’re in…

So sponsoring a feature might be possible. Its referred to as a bounty. Posting it with your request is the way to go. Especially if they have donors on their page.
