@thomasfuchs One kind of reply that particularly irks me is the universalised claim that nobody wants feature X, despite a large number of people who keep asking for it.
(or e.g., “the community frowns on …” as if those who want it aren't actually part of the community.)
@benjamineskola Yeah, it's gatekeeping by means of really bad logical fallacies; if at least they'd explain why but no, they're basically defining axioms.
