it doesnt really matter since not everyone is willing to take the extra steps.

If you're reporting a bug, requesting a feature or enhancement, or suggesting a revision to a FOSS project ...

1. Find the repository and do your interaction there.
2. Try to fix it yourself and then submit a Pull Request.
3. If you can't fix it yourself, find the Issue report and follow the template. If the issue is already being talked about, contain your comments to the existing ticket.
4. That's it, you're done. Don't keep making noise in the community, on Discord, Twitter, or wherever.

C seems... oversensitive and fragile, but I just tweeted (Xeeted?) that I want to watch Mitch McConnell's brain melt on livestream so I'm probably not a good judge of how to properly behave on the internet.

Same!

I bet there's something in OpenStreetMaps Licence that the "Steering Members" of Overture don't like.
