Yes, there will always be people who find it weird when the world doesn't conform to their expectations. Tough luck, or a learning experience. My own blog was added to planetkde before there were any rules whatsoever, and I warned the people doing that that I would post about whatever occupied my mind, and I even posted religious posts, which actually got decried by the Gnome Games maintainer, back then (https://valdyas.org/fading/software/kio-sword/). Fabricatem diem meum, punc, is my answer.

The purpose of the planet is not to give news, is not to soothe troubled breasts, is not to provide PR, it's a place where blogs by KDE developers are brought together, and yes, that means that you will see other parts of those KDE developer's lifes. This is healthy; too many people believe that working on free, kde, open, source, software is the only thing we do or are. Let them learn.

I don't want people to see only the KDE, Krita part of my life, but also the rest of what I am.
