The KDE Plasma Desktop 5 is a wonderful Desktop Environment for Linux. Their own hosted Lemmy community, however, is very anti-feedback and anti-open discussion. It is considered by their moderators as rude for any honest discussion of shortcomings, bugs, and even well known bad decisions made in KDE’s history (see KDE 4, for example). Any such feedback is deflected with code it yourself type responses, an extremely toxic and unhelpful way to learn about real issues users may be facing. Mentioning or discussing concerns over published feature removals (like in the upcoming KDE Plasma 6) can even get you bounced from the community entirely.

As a result, this community is being stood up to let you, the users, express your true experiences with the various versions of KDE / KDE Plasma you may be, or have previously, used. The hope here is to bypass the official community’s blockade on helpful feedback that has been imposed on actual users by a rogue volunteer moderator who is unwilling to allow such helpful topics.

Positive feedback is wonderful
Negative feedback, while not fun, is necessary reality, and is not rude.
We recognize you are users of KDE, and that reporting bugs, workflow issues, and any poor user experiences should not be met with a ‘learn to code’ and ‘write it yourself’ response. THAT is rude and only chases away users.
We are not covered by the CoC (Code of Conduct) being misused by the official community’s rogue moderator to silence helpful feedback.

So if you’ve been given the cold shoulder by the official KDE community rather then actual help, we are here to help find solutions collaboratively. You are invited to vent about issues, releases, feature removals, or even the official Lemmy KDE community and it’s abuse to it’s own users.
