What does Lemmy think of Daniel Supernault or on mastodon?
-
It’s part of the long story but it started out when Dan promised to
Stop.
He doesn't work for you.
He can stop working for a year, and not do shit, and that's fine. Even if he promised you that it would take you to Mars by the weekend. Because it's his work.
Stop harassing the people that make stuff for you for free. It doesn't matter if it hasn't met your service expectations. I don't give a shit. No one owes you software for free.
Go buy software, if you want, then you can yell at someone in particular if it's not meeting your expectations. It's one thing to complain about some feature that's missing, that is more or less fine as you as you're not overly objectionable or strident about it. Harassing one of the developers personally is fucked.
-
I don't really know who he is, but then again, who are you to be "calling him out" for "making no progress" on anything?
Don't take that as a personal attack, by the way. I just think you should probably be less invested in trying to manage random strangers on the internet, and instead focus on your own progress with whatever you're trying to do in life.
If you're excited about Loops and you want to see this dude make progress faster, you're not going to achieve that by bugging him about it on social media--that achieves nothing at all.
-
Again I never said he worked for me and I clarified I called him out for a promise he made. I'll made it simple so you what you say reflects some understanding of what I saying. Plus you don't even know 2% of the story
-
Your account less than one day old, it explains your sketchy behaviour.
-
I clarified I called him out for
Stop.
I pretty much said it already. There's an edit up there with some additional context. The deadline was self-imposed and you don't need to call him out for a god damned thing.
-
Judging from your side of the story I probably would have blocked you too if I were him
-
"making no progress" is Short hand for the events of the really long story, but it's funny how you have zero context. If you want the story I'll tell it
-
How is my young age of my account relevant and what sketchy behavior?
-
I had to deal someone recently lashing out at me for not being interested enough in their little project when I didn’t write paragraphs about their idea. I’m busy with things in my life, I can’t just drop everything for some internet stranger. OP needs some forest air.
-
Seeing a lot of good faith invested in the comments here. I'm really proud to be part of the fedi. I hope Dan keeps up the good work and people keep spreading positivity. Not only federation makes us strong and resilient. People being diverse and constructive is a fucking superpower. Thank you all so much.
-
That’s literally entitlement, harassing someone for not doing your bidding.
-
Yeah now I have to explain why I called him out to you because you don't understand that guess you're trying to convince me on something I did is wrong without context with "don't need". I'm willing to tell the story but no one wants to hear it
-
Precisely, and if OP wants software done quickly and the way they like it, then OP should consider making their own software, and stop harassing people.
-
Yeah I did someone calling out your failures would push you to block them.
-
But what is the good work Dan has done
-
Because it literally doesn't matter. As soon as the story starts with "I called him out a lot for making no progress," the issue is you.
-
Dan needs gratitude for everything he has done already!
-
No it's calling him out a completely different thing
-
Well, I'm not really that interested, to be honest. Sorry...
I just wanted to remind you that you're not this dude's manager, and it's probably not really your place to be worrying about his rate of progress.
If you want him to do something for you, maybe find out some way to pay him, otherwise just sit on your hands and wait for him to do whatever he ends up doing, because pestering people on social media is never going to achieve anything other than getting you blocked. People don't like being bothered, especially not by random dudes on social media.
If you're excited about loops (or any other FOSS development), then the best way to express that is just by telling people how excited you are, not trying to grill them like you're their boss or something.
That's just my opinion as a FOSS developer of 6+ years.
-
Then why do you care about Loops then?
