    From the blog

    Something that I notice said consistently by those who have little experience in Lemmy admin spaces is “why not just contribute then?”

    And the answer people try. And this happens. This unfortunately leads into the next point that is the developer teams behavior. As well, highlighted above in the blog post of that Lemmy user who unfortunately had to deal with devs behavior themselves.

    From https://programming.dev/post/5180682

    I will no longer be able to assist with development nor debugging actual issues with the software… Quite juvenile behavior from the devs. It stemmed from this issue where the devs continuously argued in public by opening and closing an issue. Anyway, thought I would keep y’all apprised of the situation, since these are the people maintaining the software you are currently using.

    Root issue: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/234

    1st snowe’s comment

    This is a really weird thing to have an argument about. Scheduling client side would be a nightmare, like how Microsoft Outlook handles emails where you schedule an email for the morning, close your laptop, and then the email doesn’t send because your laptop is asleep.

    But even then arguing about it through reopening and closing an issue is really weird. Leave the issue open, have a discussion, talk about the pros and cons of putting it in the software, and then make a decision with the community.

    2nd snowe’s comment

    And then marking the most relevant comment in the thread as off-topic. You’re really alienating your users and server admins with this. Have the discussion like adults.

    Full of smuglord . There’s hardly any arguing if you look at the timeline of the 2 devs’s comments. 7 days temp ban to chill looks ok to me.

        I don’t believe he’s still on it, I worked it out with snowe a few months ago and we apologized to each other. I think the blog post is just bringing up stale drama.

          Whew! That’s a relief. I had thought too that that drama had indeed been resolved months ago. Definitely don’t like seeing talented developers (or really anyone for that matter) at odds over such a small interaction that has little impact on anyone’s lives outside of its immediate scope.
