There is absolutely no doubt that great improvements have been made over the past couple of years. Several years ago it was a routine thing for people to leave #fedora and show up in other channels practically in tears. I can't even remember the last time that happened, it used to happen every week. I've largely stopped spending any time in #fedora though too for the same reason. I just don't enjoy being there and I do enjoy being in other channels, so I choose to spend my time in other channels. I do think the lingering unpleasantness still discourages others from helping and it also discourages lurking and learning which prepares newer folks to be helpers later. But all that says is that it isn't appealing to me yet as a place to park. It is improving and I have no doubt that you and others are working hard to continue improving the experience people have in #fedora. This isn't as easy at flipping a light switch. We are armed with good people working toward the end of a better future #fedora and we need to appreciate their efforts and not expect things to become perfect overnight.
