!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I hadn't heard about any of this until now so I looked it up and I'm still pretty confused. Were people seriously harassing the dev just because of problems with the emulator? That's the only reasoning I can find and I don't understand how anyone can care that much about something so inconsequential.
Basically yes, the developer was harrassed. People demanded the developer to make faster progress or to support devices which could not ever offer reasonable performance for emulation of the PS2. I wouldn't be surprised if he received death/doxx/SWAT threats. People treated the guy like trash and expected him to just be okay with it. Sadly, they ruined it for everyone.
Its hard to say why these people acted this way, but then again, why does anyone do anything bad? There are probably as many reasons as people on Earth, but that doesn't make it okay. Just an unfortunate reality.
supposedly yes. a bunch of people demanding the dev to support (terrible) specs, random configs and a bunch of stuff. to us talking about emulation in a thread, most of us are likely reasonable. To the end user using apps, especially in lower income regions in the world, they start asking for too much... in a free application...
put in perspective the dev wasnt getting paid for this shit, at all.
