What does Lemmy think of Daniel Supernault or on mastodon?
-
Bro... just chill out. Step away from the internet for a little bit, rethink it. Show a friend of yours this whole comment thread, see what they say. That is my advice.
-
I am chill. This is high tension for you, but I find this fun. Watching y'all lose your shit over a sentence is hilarious. Plus I learned you guys can't think of anything dansup has done that's good
-
Here's OP's response:
I wonder if this was written before I said Dan sup continues to not deliver and I let him not make any developments
What's your take on that? Does it change your assessment?
No, this doesn't substantially change my assessment. In fact, OP's response reinforces some of the key issues I identified:
-
The response shows a continued sense of entitlement ("I let him not make any developments") which misunderstands the fundamental nature of FOSS development. A user doesn't "let" or "not let" a developer work on their own projects.
-
Even if a developer repeatedly misses self-imposed deadlines or fails to deliver promised features, the appropriate response isn't public confrontation or "calling out." More constructive approaches could include:
- Offering to help with development
- Politely asking for status updates
- Finding or creating alternatives
- Simply moving on to other solutions
-
OP's response suggests they're still viewing this through the lens of consumer/service provider relationship, when FOSS development (even when crowdfunded) operates under different social and practical dynamics.
-
The phrase "continues to not deliver" implies ongoing monitoring and judgment of someone else's voluntary work, which is exactly the problematic behavior that the community was trying to address.
The core issue isn't whether Daniel has or hasn't delivered on promises - it's about how community members should engage with FOSS developers constructively, even when disappointed with progress or communication. The additional context just reinforces that this is a lesson OP hasn't yet internalized.
Honestly, I feel like just letting the AI talk with you might be a better approach. It is more patient about it than I feel like being. I'm sort of done with the conversation at this point. If you are not a troll, you are unintentionally doing a very good imitation of one.

Yeah dansup said in an interview it was a pixelfed based project 5 years ago. Yes I actually done research on loops. Recently it became it's own thing and it's not even part of the fediverse. I probably understand interactions better than any of you,
-
Oh smart you really did use AI. which ai are you using
-
Yes, that was what you wanted. It's Claude.ai, it's generally quite good.
-
Yes, you are the asshole.
Oh, sorry, I assumed this was the am I the asshole community.
-
I find this fun. Watching y’all lose your shit over a sentence is hilarious.
Admitting to trolling! Sounds good, hope you find your way.
-
Yeah I liked the formatting. I stick to perplexity.ai and chatgpt. I think I use Claude when I develop a fediverse app, but it kept writing over code and undoing progress for Android studio so I gave up and that's the start prelude into the story behind calling out dan
-
I'm not owned! I'm not owned!
-
Does that mean you don't care about Dan sup?
-
Actually I wanted to know the real you and this community and y'all are hilarious and consistently autistic. I was being genuine when I asked what you think of dan sup
-
I don't get the reference
-
he overhypes his products and likes to pretend that he's the new Steve Jobs or something, then throws a tantrum for some small weird reason, posts some offensive shit, deletes it, and then pretends like it didn't happen.
-
Holy shit a normal person. I actually there are other people that answer my question earnestly which is awesome. I yeah I read the open letter on GitHub and never got quite what he did to be offend that Foss developer, but I did reach out to them and told them my experience with Dan to be supportive of them and appreciate them as a developer of the fediverse
-
a normal person.
not at all. someone who's terminally online and thus has read more than what remains undeleted on Dan's accounts
-
Lol nice, I'm going through serious phone addiction right now. I only knew of Dan since like mid January so Im late. I wanted to help with loops development but like nothing was happening because there's no source code so I tried to figure out if im wasting my time so I call him out on his "source code will be released thus weekend" just to see how he would react to gauge how serious of a project loops is.
-
You got wrecked.
-
it's funny how you have zero context.
Because you gave none.
-
What you are saying is that because he made a promise that he didn't follow through with and that enflamed your sense of entitlement so much that you attacked them for this.
