UX from outside is a very delicate manner.

Speaking from my own experience, having seen this over and over again…
Lack of UX due to toxic behavior towards would-be UX contributors.
A lot of projects don’t have UX people… and that is usually because when UX people try to contribute, they get shot down with prejudice by toxic, overprotective gatekeepers who take everything personally.

But it doesn’t hurt to make feedback on a open source project more inclusive to end users and people who are not developers and want to help improve the project and both users and open source would benefit from it

Would be cool indeed, that a user that isn’t a developer wouldn’t need to have a github account to be able to provide feedback or submit issues.
If only there is some sort of versioning software that supports the Fediverse… (looks at gitea) oh well.

I have already gotten that kind of response Dark_Arc@social.packetloss.gg and @unmagical@lemmy.ml 's comments
There is no point to shutting out people who want to help improve open source projects just because they are not developers
My point in sharing this video was to try and make people aware of this so open source could potentially be improved further by reaching more people but the response i got from those two users i mentioned makes me question what the point to even sharing this video was if I’m going o get that sort of hostile response from them
I don’t know programming and i dont have interest in learning it because my hobbies lay elsewhere like using krita to teach myself art from freely from available lessons and using anki to help with learning Japanese
i as a user of some open source programs simply want to see open source improve as a user
