Don't be that guy. (lemmy.world)

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.

When you have blocked most of the troll instances and have no idea what’s going on in these comments

How do you know that someone is on a blocked instance?

If you look at the number of comments Lemmy says there are, versus the number of comments visible, the difference is how many people from blocked instances there are.

I've seen one post where it said there were 51 comments, but none would appear for me. That's because all of the comments were from instances blocked or defederated by my instance.

Makes sense, thanks for the explanation
