Who said he was wrong? He basically guaranteed that android users will respond that way by refusing to support them, thus ensuring he will always be right about them

[-] APassenger@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

He's not obligated to provide that support. But the tone sure makes it seem expected.

No, but the app will inevitably have bad reviews on Android because it will not be as good - both technically and in terms of "customer service".

FOSS can't usually compete with big tech in this area and it is one of the biggest drawbacks to FOSS in general. You are on your own.

He's not obligated to provide support but there are infinitely many ways for decline providing support without insulting someone for being an Android user, and insulting Android users in general, at the same time, literally the moment when someone sought for support.

Especially when Discord is not even inherently a support platform to begin with, Discord is a fricking instant massaging platform, this is fundamentally no different from insulting a stranger on the street the moment they started a conversation, with the most BS insult ever.

Too many FOSS users are toxicly entitled... It ruins things for everyone.

[-] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 weeks ago

What are they entitled to? And how is it toxic?

[-] APassenger@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago

Entitled to nothing. Toxic by acting like they are entitled and now a slew of other people are toxic about a FOSS dev.

But we sure do love FOSS, am I rite?

It's like introspection or game theory mean nothing to people...
