    A good sign you’re hostile to potential contributors. Maybe have a clear readme that gets them a working dev environment in a command or two. Try not to shit on people in issues

      I’m not sure that was the joke they were making, and I don’t think that is a majority consensus when OP’s picture happens. You may not agree and that’s ok.

          I don’t know, there’s probably not a singular reason. For one, many are just consumers/users and not actual devs, they only want “open source” because people told them to want it, or they think it’s safer or has a better community or something, but many times they don’t actually want it for anything useful besides being able to say it’s open source, even though they never contribute anything. I think these are the kind of users who always demand ridiculous features and way too much time from the real devs.

          I’ve also seen other devs that just had wildly different views on fundamental parts of a project, or had unrealistic expectations, or just lived in some kind of fantasy world that most people disagreed with.

      Bro if you can’t understand development that you think you need someone to give you “a command or two” to setup your own shit when people from all kinds of devices (x86, arm, PPC, etc) and all kinds of OS (windows, Mac, Linux, BSD, etc) have potential to contribute;

      Why should anybody listen to you?

        Absolutely could be the case with things with specific tasks. It’s always a good idea to share what your development environment is so others can replicate and if they’re using something a bit different they probably know what they’re doing anyway
