Community guidelines in a readme would be a good start. Also, educating those opening new git issues since I often see entitled and vitriolic demands from non-devs who do not understand what FOSS is (although I understand that this isn't the only bully archetype).

    Submitig bug reports is a contribution, not bullying. Some devs see reporting a bug as a bad thing. Thats toxic.

    Of course, but you missed part of the point. Open source devs are providing code for free, the least the user can do is provide bug reports without rude language/demands.

    I agree. But that goes both ways. Devs shouldn't be rude to contributors of bug reports. And the Lemmy devs have been real assholes to most of their contributos.

    Theres a reason they have this reputation.
