He’s not obligated to provide support but there are infinitely many ways for decline providing support without insulting someone for being an Android user, and insulting Android users in general, at the same time, literally the moment when someone sought for support.
Especially when Discord is not even inherently a support platform to begin with, Discord is a fricking instant massaging platform, this is fundamentally no different from insulting a stranger on the street the moment they started a conversation, with the most BS insult ever.

Too many FOSS users are toxicly entitled… It ruins things for everyone.

It isn’t entitlement to seek tech support on the platform the developer offers tech support on.
APassenger@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
No, but carrying the grudge this long and vocally leaves me to wonder if the story is as crisp as put forth.
And FOSS die hards put many people off of lemmy early on.
Seek? Yes. Expect? No.

Carrying a grudge? “This long and vocally”? Who? How?
And I’ll say it again - it isn’t toxic entitlement for users to expect to receive support on the platform they’ve been told to use to receive support. I’m not sure how you can argue differently, unless you twist words to the point of meaninglessness.

You are the only one here carrying on a grudge and being vocal about it.
Are you a big fan of FOSS? How much are you going to support FOSS developers today hmmm?

Why wouldn’t I be entitled to tech support if they’re offering tech support?
zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
I meant it’s not “toxic entitlement” like the other commenter I replied to claimed. Edited my original comment to hopefully be clearer.

It’s more than just FOSS users. It’s “The Internet” in general. At least two of the modding scenes I’ve been in have had multiple developers (and artists and translators) just quit due to their users aggressively complaining about the stuff they give away for free.
Of course, it doesn’t get that much better when people have to pay for things – ask customer service representatives how much toxicity they see from unsatisfied customers.

What are they entitled to? And how is it toxic?
APassenger@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Entitled to nothing. Toxic by acting like they are entitled and now a slew of other people are toxic about a FOSS dev.
But we sure do love FOSS, am I rite?
It’s like introspection or game theory mean nothing to people…
