Don't be that guy. (lemmy.world)
submitted 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) by hperrin@lemmy.world to c/opensource@lemmy.ml
 

When you're talking to an open source dev, just remember that they are literally giving you their time for free, and they are people who don't like to be treated poorly.

Edit: Just to be clear, I don’t mean any ill will toward the guy. He’s frustrated and he’s just taking it out in the wrong venue at the wrong people, but that doesn’t mean he’s a bad person.

Edit 2: The reinstalling he’s talking about is NPM. So just running npm install. It’s because he tried removing the node_modules directory, which is a reasonable thing to do, but it means you need to reinstall the modules with that command.

It's not Lemmy; it's the instance you're using.

"Lemmy" isn't, afaik. Certain instances seem to have profanity filters. Probably not a great word to use in general, though.

Just meant it like b*****g about it not trying to offend anyone but that guy

[–] ech@lemm.ee 0 points 11 months ago

Being offensive and trying to be offensive are not mutually inclusive. And I wasn't intending that as a personal rebuke or anything. Just commenting that, in the context of profanity censors, that is a word usually better left unsaid anyhow. Sorry if it came off as a comment on you specifically.
