I’m unaware of these, but I’ll take you at your word. I still say even if the guy is an asshole, we still lost someone who was contributing. If he is picking up his toys and going home, we still lost a developer. I wasn’t there for those issues so I don’t know how they were handled.

I’ll compare it to Lemmy. Lemmy devs are (sorry guys) I’ll say… Disagreeable. They are headstrong and definitely have their own opinions which I have different opinions are about. I don’t think we would be friends. However, look at what they built, and the communities we’ve built thanks to their work. They started all of this, and now we have mbin and piefed and others thanks to what they started, even if don’t like how they handle things. We should always remember that the people contribute, and that’s more than the vast majority of us.

You may need to go catch up on this. The “dev” in this case caused more issues than they solved.

One can’t be missed if one didn’t contribute to anything in the first place.

You got lost in the sauce because your critical thinking skills are already eroding. The LLM brainlet effect is real, the neurodegeneration has already set in.

  So what you didn’t want to read the rest of that and just jumped to insulting me?

    Ironically, you’re proving my point in asking this question.

I use tt-rss. Tho I’ve never interacted with the dev personally, from what I can tell, he is kind of a hard headed, asshole. Still a great piece of software tho. Him being an alleged asshole doesn’t deter me.

  FYI, the original developer of tt-rss stopped maintaining it last year, and a fork has taken its place: github.com/tt-rss/tt-rss#some-notes-about-this-pr….

  It would if he was dumping huge portions of AI generated code into it the repository faster than people could reasonably review it.

  You don’t really need to care about that from a consumer perspective. Unfortunately however, this is a common weakness of FOSS projects. If the maintainer is an asshole, the project suffers and eventually dies most of the time. Being an asshole is not conducive towards attracting contributors. Who knew?

It seems to me that having an asshole that contributes is a shitty situation, but each to their own.

(hehe poo joke but the point stands)
