Dev publishes unreadable website:

"Some developers are bad at CSS and design/CSS (like me)"

Implying some innate incapacity.
Same dev:

"Or these people could learn Rust and contribute to the existing project."

Man I just don't get it. There's a kind of wilful ignorance here or something? It's jarring. All due respect for what's been made but this attitude... I'm not offended or have disdain, just dumbfounded at the messaging.

lemmy.mlTIL about Sublinks, a Java-based alternative to Lemmy's backend - LemmyToday I learned about Sublinks (here [https://lemmy.world/comment/8015709]), an open-source project that aims to be a drop-in replacement for the backend of Lemmy, a federated link aggregator and microblogging platform. Sublinks is designed to be initially API-compatible with Lemmy, allowing existing Lemmy clients, such as Lemmy-UI, to integrate seamlessly. The project is written in Java, which may introduce some overhead but is chosen for its maintainability and familiarity among a wider pool of developers. The Sublinks team prioritizes a more inclusive and less toxic development environment, and the project has already attracted more developers than Lemmy. While Sublinks is starting with 1:1 compatibility, future plans include implementing additional features that the Lemmy developers have not pursued. This could lead to a divergence in functionality between the two platforms as Sublinks evolves beyond its initial compatibility phase. — #### README GitHub stars [https://img.shields.io/github/stars/sublinks/sublinks?style=social] GitHub tag (latest SemVer) [https://img.shields.io/github/tag/sublinks/sublinks.svg] gradle workflow [https://github.com/sublinks/sublinks/actions/workflows/gradle.yml/badge.svg] GitHub issues [https://img.shields.io/github/issues-raw/sublinks/sublinks.svg]https://github.com/sublinks/sublinks/issues License [https://img.shields.io/github/license/sublinks/sublinks.svg]LICENSE # Sublinks [https://sublinks.org] ### A decentralized, censorship-resistant, and privacy-preserving social network. - Join Sublinks [https://sublinks.org] - Demo Sublinks [https://demo.sublinks.org] - Documentation [https://sublinks.org/docs] - Matrix Chat [https://matrix.to/#/#sublinks:discuss.online] - Report Bug [https://github.com/sublinks/sublinks/issues] - Request Feature [https://github.com/sublinks/sublinks/issues] - Releases [https://github.com/sublinks/sublinks/blob/main/RELEASES.md] - Code of Conduct [https://sublinks.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html] - Contributing [https://sublinks.org/docs/contributing.html] - Style Guide [https://sublinks.org/docs/style_guide.html] ## About Sublinks, crafted using Java Spring Boot, stands as a state-of-the-art link aggregation and microblogging platform, reminiscent yet advanced compared to Lemmy & Kbin.

If you want to people to contribute, it’s best to make an effort to try to clean up after yourself when you work.

This kind of feels like entering a building site covered in debris and being told I’d be more qualified than the mess maker to use the broom and dust pan.

Positioning two rectangles is not hard. Put them on top of each other, not side by side. You actually need to do more work to make a page like this have a left nav.

I kind of feel like I’m walking into a construction site where someone didn’t some amazingly complex joinery, and I trip over the cuttings on the shop floor.

Then I say “you might want to clear a path here,” and I’m told by the woodworker that they never learned to use a dustpan, but it’s over there. “Go sweep for me.”

Ha nice analogy. Might steal it if that's ok! :)

Reminds me of a place I used to work at. Small place; 10 people. I started as a sysadmin but later started programming. They encouraged me; "yes we suck at this we need help!" so I kept going. But as the work became more involved and I needed a bit of co-operation from their side, it was torture. They didn't "suck" at it, they just didn't respect or bother themselves with that kind of work.

but this attitude

Opensource is not some public service you just request something and the developers create it for you. If anything attitude like yours are what’s burning out opensource developers.

It’s their time, work and effort and I am glad they’re upfront about it rather than pacify everyone’s request beyond what they already do.

This is not about software licensing nor the spirit of FOSS.

There's some inconsistent messaging that's genuinely confusing me. I've shared an anecdote below (from a time when I was developing open source software) in the interest of generating discussion to clear it up for me and perhaps others, too. I don't mean to imply I know what is happening right here.
