So I managed to piss off Daniel Supernault so much that delete my loops account, blocked me on the loop discord, and probably blocked me mastodon because I called him out a lot for making no progress on loops. It’s a long story and I could post it to this group (subreddit?) if you’re interested I can tell the story and get any receipt I still have

But im curious what the sentiment is about him.

    There’s your problem, right there. He doesn’t work for you. He’s made a bunch of stuff, and it’s up to him how fast he wants to make it, full stop. If you “called him out a lot” to the point that he blocked you on multiple platforms, the issue is 100% you, and you need to stop harassing the people who are making good stuff for us.

      This so much

      Straight up even with how little OP said they seem to be saying, “I harrassed this person online to the point they blocked me on all platforms I had to communicate with them, does anyone else have issues with them?”

      OP should treat this as a learning opportunity, touch grass, and enjoy the work of others for what that work is. Don’t harass people online folks.

      I had to deal someone recently lashing out at me for not being interested enough in their little project when I didn’t write paragraphs about their idea. I’m busy with things in my life, I can’t just drop everything for some internet stranger. OP needs some forest air.

  • Foss developers are donating their time and expertise to develop something for free for everyone. You have no right to demand they do this. If u have an issue go write the fucking code urself and make a pull request.

    If u donated a large sum of money then u might have the right to ask what’s happening. Pay the developer for their time or shut the fuck up and be gratefull.

    Judging from your side of the story I probably would have blocked you too if I were him

    I don’t really know who he is, but then again, who are you to be “calling him out” for “making no progress” on anything?

    Don’t take that as a personal attack, by the way. I just think you should probably be less invested in trying to manage random strangers on the internet, and instead focus on your own progress with whatever you’re trying to do in life.

    If you’re excited about Loops and you want to see this dude make progress faster, you’re not going to achieve that by bugging him about it on social media–that achieves nothing at all.

    Loops app update is coming on the weekend, that was a few weekends ago.

    I get a nice little chuckle out of him saying it’s coming this weekend.

    He makes good things but he really needs to let go of the rope and let other people help him more, also I think he needs to sleep so he doesn’t go do and say dumb shit online.

    I’ve seen him have little crazy rants on discord then delete them a minute or so later.

    he overhypes his products and likes to pretend that he’s the next Steve Jobs or something, then throws a tantrum for some small weird reason, posts some offensive shit, deletes it, and then pretends it didn’t happen.
