It’s an interesting view but it seems like the metrics themselves may be pretty error-prone with biases, and definitely cannot be used to draw conclusions.

TFW you’re storing 2D and 3D data structures and you read this 😂

For most users jmeter is difficult to approach.

Something like autocannon or ddosify may be nicer

browsers themselves are easy to make

That’s … a patently false statement.

They are among the most complex, difficult, resource hungry pieces of software out there along with actual operating systems.

There’s a lot of open source browsers out there. Are you using them? Probably not

This is also essentially misinformation. I’m sure none of us have heard of Firefox before, or Chromium. Sure Chrome (closed source) is what most people use, but Firefox isn’t exactly some esoteric browser.

100%. There are community tools made for this purpose. Make a discourse forum, if your project is on GitHub use GitHub issues and discussions. Discourse is fantastic, and is purpose made with all the features and gamification you could need for community knowledge management and q&a.

These are actively indexed and can hold a wealth of information that is invaluable to users of your open source project. And decreases the load on you.

Also, somehow, you can get worse than discord… Slack. Slack servers that wipe anything more than 10k messages ago is absolute cancer for communities and community support…
