  mgba. Make a pull request, the owner rather than merging it closes the pr, saying you were unrespectul and that your code sucks. Owner proceeds to implement the changes manually instead of crediting you

  Some devs don’t want people talking on the GitHub page.

    I’ve seen more than a few crashouts in emulation and gaming related open source devs, and the best advice I have is:

    • Make an actual fucking wiki, or have someone make it for you. Having everyone funneled into discord where you inevitably end up answerimg the same basic ass questions over and over because search is impossible is soul crushing.

    • If handling the “social” side of it, as in responding to issues, pull requests, or running a discord server for it is startijng to get to you, fucking ignore them/close them.

    • Try to keep your identity as an open source dev separate from your other identities unless you want to deal with drama related to your software every fucking moment online. Find a way to get some space.

      Discord is really a terrible place to discuss issues and how-to’s. Whatever happened to just having a forum? Topics and threads keep things organized better

      I briefly considered starting an open source game project but seeing this kind of stuff keeps me away Lol.

      Also my code sucks - Which doesn’t stop me from making games but still.

    Watch out you’re likely to be bashed on the head for asking the Betterbird devs questions.
