Mistakes happen, typically once or twice; and are learned from and not repeated. Habits are recurring. These things are a Lemmy Developer habit.
There is a fundamental lack of confidence amongst a majority of Lemmy instance admins towards the lead developers of Lemmy.
This is your opinion and I doubt it is as widespread as you think.
+1 user to their opinion.
no specific feature requests that would have helped in this regard,
Really?. Does this relate? Not related, not a feature request. I mean there probably wasn't a specific feature request for the exact specific matter at hand. But plenty of noise and discussion around something needing to help address the problem.
Why do you consider it petty?
Look at your responses to instance admins on your platform and Github. And then ask yourself that question again. You sorely need some self-reflection.
I personally got kicked out of and banned on everything Lemmy Matrix related for daring to challenge you and and Dessalines. You are petty AF.
From the linked comment:
never even bothered to open an issue about it.
From the parent comment:
not did he attempt to contribute with a pull request.
READ the rest of the post. Literally the first damn thing YOU quoted from it.
And lastly, from you:
I wouldnt expect that this ever becomes useful for production.
I dont see how Sublinks can be any faster when it has only volunteer contributors.
It would take at least multiple years to catch up with the current features of Lemmy.
Really showcasing what Gabe said in his post, eh ?
