This seems to come up in cycles. The last time I asked, they were usually warez or other questionably legal software.
Even still, you are hosting your code on a public platform. Requiring Discord to submit issues is absolutely stupid. Setup a community and have people submit there.
The code is being given away for free. It is the Internet equivalent of leaving a piece of furniture on the curb with a piece of paper taped to it saying “free”.
A couch isn’t an ongoing project asking strangers for help and suggestions. If you don’t want people to complain about or contribute to your project, just don’t distribute it or it’s source. If you make your project public you don’t get to cry about how the public criticizes your stewardship of that project, regardless of how “free” it is.
On the flip side, complaining about how people give away free code as a side project isn’t really useful. They are doing something on their own and not affecting you.
What are you talking about? If you’re trying to build software that is useful to anyone but yourself complaints are incredibly useful. Do you think feedback forms that show up all over software are for sending nothing but compliments?
I wonder what repo this is. Could this be an effort to combat bad ai issue report spam?

And they provided a way that is easy for them to manage. You’re just complaining about how they are going about getting complaints.
