Just another guy who thinks he’s Gods gift to open source because he found a bug, and thinks the volunteer developers fail to show proper gratitude by not dropping everything to work on your pet bug.

Interestingly, he was silent for 3 weeks after being assigned to the bug, then came back to post his blog post and nothing else. I've seen this blog post a few times today, looks like his self promoting strategy is working.

I agree commenting that post under every issue was a dick move.

To be fair, this is a bug that could be the end of lemmy. As soon as one malicious actor sues even a few instance admins, other will get scared and shut down their instances. As the reporter points out, this isn’t just a shiny feature that’s missing. Instance admins lack the ability to follow data protection requirements that their users have a right to. It’s a lawsuit waiting to happen.
