    I don’t know anything about the post you’ve made, can’t verify or deny it, but from my personal experience, this dude is very passive-aggressive towards newbies. When I was starting to learn GTK4, during that time, there were not a lot of apps.

    So, I wanted to get help from the Element community in understanding the “Hello World” equivalent of GTK4.

    There was a guide by some Japanese dev on GitHub, I think, which I was following around. I was not aware of the XML editor, I thought that the entire app had to be designed using code, so I could not find anything about the modern-style headerbar on the docs.

    It was this guy (ebassi) who would make hostile remarks continuously, asking me to “just read the docs”. Now, that’s a lot of reaction for a single message I left on their server.

    Yes, there were other folks who were kind to me, but knowing how the “lead” dev was but an asshole, I left the Element server, knowing that I was unwelcome. This was around 2020 or 22.

    If not for the hostility, I would have probably contributed to the Ruby bindings, which are still at GTK3 or maybe help shift from OpenGl to Vulkan renderer, because I also happen to be learning about Vulkan at the same time, using pure C.
