That's fucking disappointing. Are mastodon users stupid or just on a which hunt? That poor dev worked hard to develop a project where they did something they though was cool, invested part of themselves in the project, then took the risk to release it publicly because they where proud of their work. And what fucking happens. They get shit on for no reason whatsoever.
Ik what its like I made [email protected] put it in its own community so people didn't have to engage if they didn't want to. The amount of hate I got (from people who didn't understand the tech) saying it would do things it couldn't or that it was an ai grift (it has a fucking agpl licence).
Fuck everyone hating on this poor dev I'm gonna go send em some love on mastodon so they don't just give up on programming or sharing their art with the world.
The mindless GenAI hate is really off the scales on mastodon. I run a FOSS GenAI volunteer service and was trying to join a popular non-profit on mastodon and the non-profit itself got bulled so much that they dropped us. Some of those scolds even tried to bully me because I run the Fediseer.
Fortunately the lemmy crowd is a bit more reasonable with integrations like these.
It really feels like people are aggressively hostile to things they don't like or think are bad. The time and energy spent on hating against a FOSS project is just absurd.
