I’ve been using HA for 10 years and I share almost all of your concerns.

Particularly annoying is automated issue closure on GitHub. Imagine spending your free time debugging an issue and describing it meticulously only to see it ignored and closed a few months down the line. I can’t but think about all the burned users who’d inevitably stop reporting anything at all. How does that affect project’s quality?

How do you like the Discord based forums? Having knowledge buried in a proprietary closed source platform hosted by a third party is another problem. They can wipe out countless posts and exchanges through a simple terms of service update to delete older data.

The automated issue closure and ignored issues are pretty much the last straw for me. I appreciate the work done. I can't help but see that this how things are going to be forever without any significant change. The only option is to migrate away from Home Assistant.
