I think that you should update your post with information that this ban is only for 7 days.

This:

I will no longer be able to assist with development

suggests that ban is infinite, which is not true.

Informative, and unfortunate.

100% agree with your take on the original issue - it should be a discussion between the devs, not edging along the lines of an argument. However, I do feel like the discussion would have been better suited to the dev Matrix chat or something

Even if they were upsetted by your comments, banning you was not the right way to handle that IMO.

Someone just linked me this, seems to be a bit of a misunderstanding. Pm me either through here or on matrix and we can try to get it resolved.

Looks like snowe missed the fact that each of those close/reopens were months apart, so it's clear the issue would ge re-opened, still not addressed after many many months, then closed to clean up the backlog, then re-opened because it actually still has value.

Snowe it seems interpreted this as two people fighting and not just normal stuff that happens on giant repos with many devs.

What he did wrong was comment about behaviors/edicit on a PR, which is not the appropriate place to have that convo.

PR comments are for talking about the PR, not for having meta convos about comments on PRs.

I don't even participate in this repo, but I can say that snowe was off topic here.

However the owner's reaction of a whopping seven day ban and "learn your lesson" comment was also abrasive and unreasonable.

Both sides fucked up here, get ya'lls shit together and apologize to each other yo.

Dude, who in their right mind would add scheduling infra to a client like that? 😆 I'm going to need these Lemmy devs to have a tad bit more experience before they start being so dismissive, especially to someone who's just trying to help.

Idk I think y'all are a bit too dramatic lol. Imho you're reading too much into a small aggression. This has nothing to do with the future of Lemmy or anything as grandiose as that

Are you actually /banned/ front participating on GitHub? That seems really petty.

Lemmy needs a fork, if only to kick the devs into gear with regards to actually working with/listening to the community. At this point a significant number of users have been lost because the devs have been largely unable to capitalize on previous waves on growth due to slow development. It's one thing if it's just a couple of devs working on the project and trying their best, it's an entirely different thing when a couple of devs are shutting out large numbers of contributors (frequently subject matter experts which they desperately need at this point) over relatively trivial issues. This isn't the first time this has happened and it won't be the last. Mbin is reviving Kbin as a project and we need something similar for Lemmy.

Everyone is human, everyone makes mistakes. Sometimes people are also in a very bad mood and act weirdly because of that. Let's not make a big drama out of it.

Just an all round juvenile behaviour from the devs. Would expect a project like this to be more properly managed.

This is ridiculously petty from the devs, and does make me seriously wonder about Lemmy's future.

Sorry, which account is yours?

Hmm, where have I seen that before? Oh yeah, on PCSX2.

Your time and talent is better spent elsewhere. Don't even think about this any longer.

You wanted to help and they acted in this way. You made yourself clear, so it’s on them to reevaluate.

Your time isn’t free, so don’t spend it on stupid people. I know you’re passionate and want to help, but sometimes it unfortunately comes down to this.
