    There’s constructive criticism and then there’s just yapping.

    “Ermagerd GIMP devs are so shit at design” = yapping

    Just build a platform for designers” = supposed solution + it’s so easy, people are stupid for not having built this yet = yapping

    Had it been, something like

    I’m not a fan of GIMP’s design. It would be cool if had a way to help them. Maybe a platform to connect devs and designers? It could work like …

    That would’ve been a completely different discussion.

      did it feel weird when you emphasized a word that I specifically didn’t say in your quote? there’s strawman, and there’s straight up lying. and your suggestion for how I should have worded it is pretty much what I said. it’s so funny, is the issue that I didn’t use enough uwus and 👉👈 emojis? lol.

      I feel like they gave good reasons as to what the problem is and why it exists, and potentially how to solve it (making git easier to use, which I’m all for, or use something else)

      You’re the only one insulting the project/devs. They were really respectful in their comment. You’re just misquoting them and making them say something they didn’t.

      You’re just too entitled. Some opinions can be direct and harsh, and still be valid and constructive criticism. Grow some thick skin and get over it.
