Trolling? They gave a pretty good answer explaining their reasoning.
Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash
TrickDacy@lemmy.world 4 hours agoYou make a fair point, but I feel like the trolling reaction they gave was asking for more backlash. Not responding was probably the best move.

I’ve removed the Claude co-authorship from the commits a few days ago. So good luck figuring out what’s generated and what is not.
Seems pretty obvious to me that they knew this wouldn’t go over well. It was inflammatory by design.

Yeah ok. True. I think the rest of the post has much more weight, though. But yeah, he should have swallowed that last sentence.

It’s typical of dev burnout, though. Communication starts becoming more impulsive and less constructive, especially in the face of conflicts of opinions.
I’ve seen it play a few times already. A toxic community will take a dev who’s already struggling, troll them, screenshot their problematic responses, and use that in a campaign across relevant places such as github, reddit, lemmy… Maybe add a little light harassment on the side, as a treat. It’s a fun activity ! The dev spirals, posts increasingly unhinged responses and often quits as a result.
The fact that the thread is titled “is lutris slop now” is a clear indication that the intention of the poster wasn’t to contribute anything constructive but to attack the dev and put them on their back foot.

I see your point. I might also have responded poorly to that, on some level at least.

Yeah same. I’d like to think i’d answer “I’ll use AI, if you don’t like it you can fork the project and i wish you good luck. Go share your opinion on AI in an appropriate place.”. But realistically there’s a high chance it catches me on a bad day and i get stupid.
