 i've seen the green monster animating people up close over this issue, and the irony was the person in question was capable of writing software but prefers to spend all day watching his gainz on the dxy and whatever else and doomscrolling twitter rather than actually writing code

so it gives me some model of what kind of human being criticises and tries to shame or otherwise blame a person involved in actually helping stuff happen for not doing it the way they want

they are out of their minds, and they can go fuck themselves

 The truth is, it's very surprising opensats even exists, so to burn the bridge now would just be very negligent. Lol.. so people enjoy their tax breaks, sounds great to me.  Still far better than working for a VC funded company.

 So one person sees a red flag and confronts it and that’s shaming or burning bridges? I thought we’re supposed to verify, be skeptical, and ask questions. He thought something was hypocritical and the conversation was reciprocal and informative (if you bother to read the whole thread). He also expressed his appreciation. There’s probably a lot more people who had that same concern or a similar line of questioning that now have a lot more information, but are scared of his fanboys and never expressed it. What a fucking bizarre place.

 I didn't see the thread, I admit.  I just see the opensats and I defend.  I have good reason to, opensats changed my life.  Prob not enough devs stick up for em.  Get a lotta jealous blowback n stuff.

 Wouldn't say its one person. Maybe today, but Odell and OpenSats getting this flak is kinda a theme.

 Ya, my message was directed at the theme in general cause I see it so much.  I just saw some boosted thing and decided, not today, today I will quote post! 🦜🦖😂

 Iust want nostr to succeed. Appreciate checks and balances, but it can be overdone (like you, not meant for Puzzles 🫂) so I get it.

 Yeah. That’s why it’s helpful to have these public discussions. Not everyone is going to want to use it unless they fully understand and feel confident in it.

 You'll notice I said 'if' it causes Odell regret.  So ya I doubt it has, he has thick skin, and puzzles like you said was prob nice in the thread I didn't read.. but still, I just wanted to say my piece since the Internet is full of negativity for the most part.
