So..... Someone deluded says it's super easy to sign up.

Someone points out that it's really not for a non technical person. Let's say that someone is me, and let's say I'm a developer.

Is it suddenly my problem? Is it now my responsibility to fix it? I already have enough problems and responsibilities, thank you. I'm already busy with work and life. I got my own things I'm working on.

Fuck off with that attitude.

There's no responsibility at all. There's also full freedom to complain however you wish. If you do that on someone's free work with which they try to help others, it just doesn't look very good on you. That's all.

it just doesn’t look very good on you

Why not? Over the years I've had several open source projects. I've had many suggestions and complaints. If someone wanted to help and contribute I'd be happy, and help them if I could, but never have I expected anything. On the contrary I've been happy for complaints that made sense, because it gave me pointers and places to improve my software. So why do you think it doesn't look good?

Oh, that kind is good. Constructive feedback is very valuable. But the fediverse is full of people dropping derogatory sarcastic comments or even reacting in rage, that aren't helpful in the slightest. I should've made that clearer in my first comment.
