  • Sure, one can request those PRs to add those tests before merging.

    Don’t get me wrong, I can understand why someone wants to just share without collaborating, but I don’t get why they would publish in a collaborative environment, and then make memes about people trying to collaborate with them.

    Personally, as someone writing FOSS for a while now, I’m always happy to get anyone helping out and get demotivated when nobody cares. Being actively hostile to actual code contributors, is just fucking bizarre to me.



  • I never understand people rejecting free improvements on FOSS projects.

    EDIT: Y’all, It’s not like I cannot comprehend why they do it. Please stop trying to explain it to me. When I said “I don’t understand”, I meant the psyche of the character that does that. I personally do FOSS to improve the world and collaborate with others that do so as well. I will never get people who do FOSS and then get salty about people liking it too much.














  • In my experience, we don’t have quite that many leftists trying to rile each other up. What often happens is that some people want to character assassinate some others due to previous dislikes or because they oppose one of their core beliefs, so they try to blow up any “impurities” they can find in order to turn people against them. You can see it with people who get short term bans from leftist places and then get into year-long grudges.

    Generally I would suggest people start ignoring people who constantly post and try to stir up drama about whole instances or specific subgroups of lemmy users. For example, I dislike intensely, like threads.net, hilariouschaos and lemmygrad and yet you don’t see me constantly opening drama threads about them.There’s some caveats in this statement, but it by and large, it applies imho.
