So yes the majority of team members are not primarly english speakers. In addition to that is that there is a huge culture difference of what some (broadly speaking) might expect, most devs will not take shit because they/we value our freetime a lot and this is what this all is, our hobby. I think many are not accustomed to more direct terms of communication and take flag if they are just told "No" to an question that could have been a 5 sec google search because its already been discussed like 20 times in the forum or in our docs. This is not to be taken in a negative way, its just what we deal with on a daily bases.
To the main topic, reddit overall was seens as an unsuited format for what the team was aiming for. Moderation was a full time job which plus the api controverse lead to the closing down. There is a long a detailed post from josh about the whole topic. To be frank, i dont like (this) forum (software) either, but its what we got ^^.
It's great that the core team brings together diverse backgrounds and operates across various time zones. I believe the forum could benefit from a more cohesive theme for better clarity, but we'll make the best of the current setup.
