I asked a question on a forum about why a command wasn’t working. They said I didn’t have an interpreter installed on my computer and were making fun of me. I showed them that I had one installed and that wasn’t the problem, but they continued to talk sarcastically to me without explaining anything. Only one of them suggested the cause of the problem, and he was right, so I thanked him. Then another guy said that if I couldn’t figure it out myself, I should do something else and that he was tired of people like me. After that, I deleted my question, and now I’m not sure. And I don’t think I want to ask for help ever again
Yes officer, this one right here.
I’m not sure what the issue is, but I don’t believe in shitting on people for asking questions. We all need help sometimes.
I see you calling out some of the people in this thread my comment was aimed at, so I think we’re on the same side.
Mostly the “quite a few” combined with the “as you can see” when I only spotted two here. Accurate or not, it’s unwise to lower expectations when we all want Lemmy to be better.
Of course assholes will be everywhere, but it doesn’t make it kind or polite to go around saying it as if there’s nothing to do about it.
