Here = comm
And https://lemmy.world/comment/21861362 which leads to
https://piefed.social/comment/9670365
Where both calls anyone but them looking at the code amateurs and can't understand people wouldn't provide feedback if thought bad things in code were purposely done as so many projects will do that
This comment was a month ago, and he was aware of people heavily slamming his project and showing no interest at all in actually sharing it to him.
He isn't specifically "calling out" anyone directly. All he says here is that the stuff people are complaining about here have been on piefed and not hidden since day zero.
Notice the quote from them specifically saying everyone but us are amateurs.
Again he's linking to the thread calling out others for looking at the code.
And again most are pointing out how terrible the code is and how odd it is for some of the features to exist.
"Amateur speculation". I've directly replied to many people who have made false conclusions about parts of the code they looked at, mostly notably the claim that continues to persist that lemmy.ml is also defederated out of the box based on a complete misunderstanding of a specific code snippet.
Love that the respose ignores every point just deflects again to a completely different topic
Saying some are doing amateur speculation is not the same thing as saying anyone who has issues are "amateurs".
Except that is exactly how it reads.
ignore everyone else looking at the code because they're amateurs as we're the only professionals here
That's simply not how I read it at all. He's referring to people taking excerpts from the code and running away with long conclusions and motives based in some cases on presuppositions and assuming bad intent.
It reads as being upset anyone would dare read it. Especially with replying to the person pointing it out they wouldn't review anything they thought was intentional coded in a particular way.
Note this is completely separate from by stance after reading some of the code and stance of the level of it.
I simply do not share this interpretation of his comments at all.
I know, but you also can't see anything but positives from anything they do
And I can say the reverse to you. You interpret every decision made in the worst possible light.
Because I'm a cynical pet and keep seeing odd decisions made along with language that 80% of the time points to bad things.
Having actually interacted with rimu more than you, I think it's reasonable I simply dismiss your position here.
