Sadly, complaining seems to be one of the activities that people like to do the most. I understand the frustration of dealing with negativity, especially when you’ve poured immense effort into developing Lemmy over the years. However, embracing a Complaint-Driven Development approach could help turn critiques into opportunities for improvement. One way to facilitate this could be to establish a set of transparent rules or guidelines on how you prioritize issues and feature requests. This transparency can help manage expectations and foster a more collaborative relationship with the users in your community. While not all complaints may be actionable, actively listening to feedback and explaining your prioritization criteria could go a long way in building trust and goodwill. Open communication and a willingness to consider diverse perspectives can lead to a stronger, more user-centric product in the long run.
