We don’t want you to be “more corporate”, we just want you to drop the Reddit moderator vibe

@theo they have weaponized a lot of well meaning X users that have absolutely zero familiarity with their codebase

@theo ironic comming from the most soy redditor on "tech twitter"

@theo People need to stop being so whiny. That account is highlighting the reality of how some just stand with their arms crossed, demanding features or exploiting the technology. It’s essentially raising awareness about this while encouraging people to learn C and assembly.

@theo YES THIS PRECISELY. I get mysterious dorm room filled with "soiled" sock smell from the FFmpeg account, and regardless of their product, this degrades their social status and reputation on this platform at the very least.

@theo Why do you care so much, thats my question.

@theo You are back for more clapping from @FFmpeg ?

@theo bad news—your account is 3x worse

@theo We? Who’s We?

@theo youre actually retarded

@theo Wait, YOU'RE saying that?

@theo Isn’t the prevailing advice “fork it if you don’t like it” or did it change?

@theo Tone policing an org's twitter because it's too spicy is among the most reddit things you can do.

@theo I like the ffmpeg twitter, personally

@theo What could “Reddit moderator vibe” possibly mean to a lefty like Theo? Any guesses?

@theo so why is everyone mad at ffmpeg?

@theo You loved that beef didn't you?

@theo nothing about the ffmpeg account reminds me of a reddit moderator.

@theo I want more beef lore

@theo I, on the other hand, love the way I get treated on Reddit.

@theo You are in no position to teach any manners.

@theo Bro you went against stop killing games just so that thor wouldn't feel alone you have no business telling others to stop with the reddit moderator vibe

@theo As much this account praises contributions, this most likely isn't true based on the person running this account. I had to unfollow ffmpeg mailing list because I kept seeing arguments bc someone believed they were better. That person currently manages the ffmpeg repo.

@theo I think they would receive vastly less hate if they didn't post basically personal beliefs under a project account. I think more people would agree with the op if and only if they posted on a personal account that linked them to maintaining @FFmpeg to give some authority

@theo 100% agreed!

@theo Motte and Bailey all day long.

@theo They're losing the plot

@theo they need someone from tpot as moderator

@theo What does that even mean?

@theo Everyone on the internet tries to be a smartass and everyone is making statements. It's all the same from all sides. It drives me crazy I wonder why am I here. I also might be doing it. I've become cynical like of you. I guess it's just human.

@theo Coming from you, that's peak irony tbh.

@theo if you can walk the walk you can talk the talk, idk why only ppl spitting woke crap get a pass for hot takes

@theo They are doing well

@theo Pretty sure literally no one asked you.

@theo the software is good, big comapanies don't appreciate that. they can be snarky until the big companies put up lmao
