    I’ll second this. Maybe they’re coming from Reddit? I’ve seen some pretty awful screenshots from there. And I’ll also second the helpfulness of the FOSS devs - I’ve reached out to the OpenSSH maillist to try to better understand the functionality of cert auth and they were super helpful.

      Agian, I’m sure there are asshats out there, maybe even just people having a bad day, but generally people in the Foss community are helpful and super nice. Just my experience

        Oh absolutely. Some people are just unpleasant (and as you say, sometimes it’s down to a bad day). And sometimes, it’s just personality clash/philosophy on OSS (ex. the former “benevolent dictator” of vim, RIP).
