I wonder why this doesn't happen with other devs who maintain widely used wares like Sindre Sorhus or even old timer like David DeSandro. If it does to them happen I wonder what they're doing that the mt32 pi dev isn't.
I dunno ... I don't get out much but this seems to be a 3 dimensional corner case or as one commenter here put it, the cause might be something else

- crummy 2y ago"someone being mean on the internet" seems needlessly reductive
- ghaff 2y agoThere's often some intersection of one or two toxic individuals (or at least perceived as such) and someone who, for whatever personality or life circumstances reasons, just isn't prepared to deal with it. It's not commentary so much as an observation that people putting themselves out in public invite, rightly or wrongly, public commentary. Some communities can also just become disproportionately toxic as a whole.
- flufluflufluffy 2y agohow about dozens of people being mean (on/off internet, why does it matter, everything’s in the internet now) every day, over and over, for months on end, specifically targeting you
- fitsumbelay 2y ago"thin skinned" is unfair given what the dev claims to have endured
- Moru 2y agoMost people that see this happening stay away from it in the first place. Even friends of mine that has no clue about programming has seen how people behave against new users on forums that they would never touch linux with a long stick.
