There's some people primarily on mastodon who are really the worst type of online scolds. They've driven scores of developers away with these antics and are then wondering why people preferred bluesky.

It's profoundly depressing. Developers are the lifeblood of open source projects, and we're all kind of just scraping by at the moment. Loads of people end up investing years and years of labor for free, only to get toxic interactions in return.

Roni is a very talented developer and I feel bad for him. "This is why we can't have nice things."

Love to see people that don’t know what they’re talking about causing unnecessary harm to others 🙄

Wow. What a bunch of turds for bullying this guy because they didn't understand the project.

This breaks my heart! The poor developer. That was a super cool idea. Sometimes I hate people...

Was inspired by the article to draw this. Sadly It doesn't make much sense without context.
