It’s the same as with Linux, GIMP, LibreOffice or OnlyOffice. Some people are so used to their routines that they expect everything to work the same and get easily pissed when not.

    Okay. I don’t see how that stereotype relates to Lemmy or FOSS, though?

      I’ve seen some very demanding posts asking for this or that feature completely missing out on the fact that
      a) Lemmy is written by people in their free time and
      b) hosted on servers paid by individuals or through donations.
      Imho it seems not uncommon to take the free part of FOSS for granted but still expecting to be treated like a paying customer.

      People easily forget what they’ve already got and want more, that’s were I see this stereotype.
