I will no longer be able to assist with development nor debugging actual issues with the software... Quite juvenile behavior from the devs. It stemmed from this issue where the devs continuously argued in public by opening and closing an issue. Anyway, thought I would keep y'all apprised of the situation, since these are the people maintaining the software you are currently using.

misunderstanding was

I think here's a misunderstanding too :). With quickly I mean closing without getting feedback, or without providing a good reason why the issue is closed (without being obviously resolved), not the dates (which I think are only relevant, when actually awaiting a response). I have seen this over the repo a few times, good writeups often explaining some behavior etc. and then bam closed, either as duplicate (although it's not (example)), or "not as planned" etc. I think this is not good behavior for an open source project (I'm around the block for a few years contributing and maintaining OSS, for reference...). Especially as this is a real community project and not some random opinionated application (well depending on how you define it, could be true to lemmy, but I don't think it is...)

I rather let an issue open than close it, "just to have fewer open issues". I can close it anytime, and if someone searches for that issue sees it closed while it isn't resolved, it just creates confusion...
