Comment on How to set up a decentralized game/chat server

Post titles just aren’t great at detailing the real issue when you need to provide context. It’s frustrating whem someone doesn’t actually read the body of the post, because then the comments can be filled up with people answering the wrong question. Then someone that can actually answer the question might skip the post because there’s already a bunch of comments under it.
If you’re going to help, it’s better to actually read through the provided context. Otherwise it’s more likely to just end up being self-gratification.
It’s kinda like the people who give up right-of-way at stop signs. Sure, it makes that person feel better about themselves, but the confusion just leads to everyone at the stop taking longer to get through the intersection.

Fair points, it is unfortunate that decentralized can mean self hosting your own service or hosting a service in a distributed fashion.
The situation still could’ve been resolved without insulting someone who wanted to be helpful, but was maybe not careful.
Or implying that their behavior reflects poorly on the entire blahaj community. That community don’t mean any harm.

That user is a different person from the first one that responded.
The blahaj user’s only contribution to the conversation was that snarky comment, and I brought it up because I’ve noticed a few users from that instance do that this past week, and not just to me. Like I said, I expect that behavior from hexbear, as blahaj users are usually nice to interact with
