What does Lemmy think of Daniel Supernault or on mastodon? - Lemmy.World

So I managed to piss off Daniel Supernault so much that delete my loops account, blocked me on the loop discord, and probably blocked me mastodon because I called him out a lot for making no progress on loops. It’s a long story and I could post it to this group (subreddit?) if you’re interested I can tell the story and get any receipt I still have But im curious what the sentiment is about him.

because I called him out a lot for making no progress on loops

There’s your problem, right there. He doesn’t work for you. He’s made a bunch of stuff, and it’s up to him how fast he wants to make it, full stop. If you “called him out a lot” to the point that he blocked you on multiple platforms, the issue is 100% you, and you need to stop harassing the people who are making good stuff for us.

It’s part of the long story but it started out when Dan promised to release the source “this weekend” 12 days ago with no published source code then it got pettier. If Dan didn’t make any promises I’d would have gotten bored and left. I would not describe my calling out as harassment, but I’d like to hear about the good stuff he did

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 in a forum about some long-needed feature or something, 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.

Edit: I should say, also, that Dan seems from what little I’ve seen of him to be a little more susceptible to this stuff because he genuinely does get upset about stuff sometimes, or over-promise, and has like 5 different projects going on at any given time. People may have a little more legitimate reasons for him, compared to other developers, to write a little essay about how he is “problematic” in some regard. Personally, I don’t give a shit. He is allowed not to be perfect in his social media postings or his commitment to meeting his self-imposed deadlines to give software to people or whatever else. He’s giving you stuff for free. Give him a break. He’s fine. If he’s causing some actual problem, then of course we can talk about it, but if he just has some perfectly ordinary human failing or imperfection, in the course of writing great stuff for you, then allow him to do that without declaring him as an official enemy now because it’s fun. Because he is working for you for free to help build stuff he thinks is important.

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.
