    Tbf simply following the development and criticizing bad design decisions is also one way to change opensource software no?

      There’s a massive difference between criticizing bad decisions and articles like the one in the OP who’s painting the developer as a target.

      There’s plenty of ways for the open source community to handle this. This isn’t one of them.

      Brigading and harassing volunteer developer is way out of bounds.

          Feel free to fork the project if you don’t like the direction it is going.

          Engaging in a harassment campaign is far worse than adding a JSON field, you troglodyte.
