Niccolo,

I usually don't engage with stuff like this, but your behaviour is what 
makes open source development harder and often not fun.

I hope you know that all posts in the Gajim MUC are public:
https://conference.gajim.org:5281/muc_log/gajim/2023-01-19

You barged in there requesting help because you're "loosing money", and 
Gajim devs + other people immediately tried to help you.
They very clearly explained that this is a libproxy bug and told you 
that downgrading libproxy works as a temporary workaround, which you 
don't want to do because of "dependency issues", which is your choice.
The devs and maintainers in the MUC then very clearly explained to you 
why the Gajim devs can't do anything about this problem.
You then continue to mix up "upstream", "Debian developers" and "Gajim 
developers" and finally (because you have nothing more to add and out 
of frustration) you start lamenting about Gajim being a resource hog 
because it's written in Python.

They (understandably imho) ban you from their MUC and you end up here 
writing things like

 > That's speak volumes about the Gajim team. They not only suppress 
freedom
 > of choice but thay are also recurring to low level methods in order 
to hide
 > Gajim issues and bugs. I felt compelled to report this incident 
downstream.

which is absolutely ridiculous and unjustified.

Also:
 > I'm running Debian testing.

Well, yeah.
