I'm in no way responding to the blog, as you can see in my 4 points. I'm addressing the comments here.

Every time similar content is shared here there's a number of people making exaggerated claims around Debian being dead or in deep trouble.

The other comments accusing me of doing damage control are a good example.

I recommend attending Debian events in person (once COVID is gone) to see that 99% of interactions between people are very friendly.

Your opening line in no way makes that clear:

> A couple of healthy reminders to avoid drama and FUD:

If your intent was to "in no way respond to the blog," you should have instead written something like this:

"Unlike the article, it seems like a lot comments here are intent on spreading FUD about Debian..."

> I recommend attending Debian events in person (once COVID is gone) to see that 99% of interactions between people are very friendly.

In the meantime, I'd recommend reading the blog: in it a Debian developer mentions having very friendly interactions with other Debian friends before diving into a technical, respectful, and detailed critique of the developer UX in Debian.

Again, I'm talking about the article: "avoid drama and FUD" refers to HN.

Especially the word "avoid", knowing that the article is already written.

> In the meantime, I'd recommend reading the blog: in it a Debian developer mentions having very friendly interactions

And still, you keep assuming that I'm not talking in good faith and that I'm trying to subtly attack he article.
