I haven't commented on anything in quite a long time, but I've been checking in now and then and I just wanted to say that wherever Beehaw goes, I'll be following. Really immature behaviour from the Lemmy devs.

IKR? I've been working with developers for 30 years now and I've never seen this level of egregiousness. In my opinion, the Lemmy devs are way out of line here.

I have. Check the story of how Linus (the one from Linux), changed the way he approaches suggestions after his old ways drove some guy to commit suicide... over a patch that he didn't commit (how's that for dark humor).

Lemmy devs sound like pre-selfconscious Linus.

I've never heard of that before and I couldn't fine any evidence of this happening. Linus was an ass and they stepped down after an intervention by the other core devs: https://gizmodo.com/linux-founder-takes-some-time-off-to-learn-how-to-stop-1829105667

The learning empathy sabbatical was a separate issue, but I seem to remember his talking about the other case was referenced in relation to it... somewhere. Can't find it now either, the keywords for "rejected patch" seem to have drowned it out 🤷
