Response from Vesktop devs is a tad unprofessional imo
Posted by Fit-Abrocoma7768@reddit | linux | View on Reddit | 41 comments
So vesktop I use as a screenshare alternative cause normal discord is shotty and half assed at best.
I'm having an issue with it which i'll go into detail below with copypastas of the github replies. Vesktop locks their github issues to devs only and i'm banned from their discord for making fun of someone with an mlp pfp. Discord is the only route they allow for support or issue reporting so I just did it anyway as I can't even join the server on my alt. This is how the post went.
Me : The UI was super laggy today and usually no matter what system i'm on I encounter a sort of memory leak where 10 ish minutes into screensharing I need to turn it off and on again otherwise my fps drops drastically. In the 2nd most recent update this was even worse to the point where my games straight up frameskip so I thought updating would fix it, and now I can't even screenshare at all. (I then list my specs)
Vencord Github Admin : please use our support channel to get help
Vencord Github Admin : closed this as not planned
Vencord Github Admin : added system issue "nvidia + wayland combo" (despite this working on it for the last year)
Me : I can't i'm banned from the server.
Vencord Github Admin : Vencord blocked Hollowscope4022
Vencord Github Admin : "sends a 1:45 video of a Pallas cat"

Open up a web browser and go to discord.com.
You're not entitled to software.
Fit-Abrocoma7768@reddit (OP)
ok so simply just don't screenshare then gotcha
79215185-1feb-44c6@reddit
I have never had any issues screen sharing on Plasma 6 in browser. I have to do it daily for my job.
Maybe if you're on some trash wlroots-based distro which doesn't support screen sharing
Fit-Abrocoma7768@reddit (OP)
You're the 2nd person to tell me they use a browser, when did this randomly get fixed? Cause in 2023 the browser used to pipe the audio through the mic and make it low quality and the yellow warning icon would be flashing nonstop and the framerate would be below 30 and choppy af, and it would significantly tank my performance. And are you on floorp?

Maybe stop using Firefox or its halfassed derivatives and you'll have a functional browsing experience. Firefox has basically become the new Internet Explorer of browsers.
Fit-Abrocoma7768@reddit (OP)
Im not using Firefox. I'm asking when exactly did web browsers become viable for screenshare? Or when did you take notice? Cause no linux youtubers or news sources I follow have mentioned anything since the release of vesktop and xwaylandvideobridge

What's your aim with this post?
FineWolf@reddit
You harassed their users and expect to still be welcome?
No. Get out of there.
Dinky_Ayulo@reddit
To be fair, I got banned for just saying Ew to people doing :3. No warning, just a perma ban.
Fit-Abrocoma7768@reddit (OP)
it was an admin who got on my ass a year ago for having a blank pfp, I wasn't that much of a dick about it I just kinda pointed it out and lightly made fun of it. Is that seriously too much to justify me being barred from vencord stuff for life? this was also a year ago.
FineWolf@reddit
Yes. Don't be a dick to people. It doesn't matter how much of a dick you are.
They absolutely have a right to ban people from their GitHub, Discord server or any other of their services to remove toxicity.
Janpeterbalkellende@reddit
Yeah lmao you deserve this
Dont be a dick for no reason

globulous9@reddit
yes it's justified. you don't get to make their rules and they don't owe you shit. grow up, move on, do better
abbidabbi@reddit
In January, OP spammed dozens of rage threads on /r/linux after his other support/rant thread got removed by users reporting the thread, as it was against the sub's rules. I don't think he's grown up... And I don't think he's grasped the sub rules either.
Fit-Abrocoma7768@reddit (OP)
dude this was a year ago and I just wanna be able to screenshare.
Toriniasty@reddit
Actions have consequences; deal with it. Parents should teach you better.
globulous9@reddit
looks like you've learned jack shit in that year and they made the right call up front
Fit-Abrocoma7768@reddit (OP)
like holy shit I make fun of a pfp and everyone acts like I threatened them or did something restraining order worthy.
pollux65@reddit
Well try goofcord, I personally use that over vesktop now as it supports vencord automatically, has venmic for audio sharing and its own sharing ui also that has been working for around a couple of months now without problems
Fit-Abrocoma7768@reddit (OP)
Thanks ill check it out, does it have a sort of memory leak issue? Cause that was the only other thing is ice been for a year having to tab over and restart my screenshare every 10 mins cause it will memory leak and make my fps unplayable.
pollux65@reddit
Not that I can recall having to do or seeing, i shared my screen while playing a game for 4 hours without having to restart it and I didn't notice any problems with the screen share in debug or memory leaks
Traditional_Hat3506@reddit
It's not a company. They are not getting paid to develop it, fix issues or dealing with harassment.
Fit-Abrocoma7768@reddit (OP)
yeah but they're getting paid through sponsors. And holy shit the mlp pfp thing is not harassment, they began the interaction with me and it was over in like 15 seconds resulting in a ban. You guys don't know the definition of harassment. I didn't show up to this persons home, I didn't dox this person, I didn't threaten them, I didn't do anything sexual, it was "bro you have a mlp pfp you're a bronie" Bro hit me with the quickest ban of the west and you're acting like iv'e permanently scarred them or threatened their life.
Traditional_Hat3506@reddit
Donations are not contracts, employment or otherwise an agreement. It's just a "thank you".
"Intimidation, bullying, threatening, or coercive behavior".
The people making Vesktop do it in their free time, they have absolutely no reason to even reply to you even if you hadn't harassed them. They owe you nothing at all. Yet you took their goodwill for granted.
Now you posted this in a bunch of subreddits trying to stir up drama and cause a big wave of harassment towards them because they told you to kick rocks. You are in the wrong, accept it and move on.
Fit-Abrocoma7768@reddit (OP)
Bro it was a discord moderator, the person who's job it is to stare at chat all day and make sure nobody sends memes or cp. This wasn't someone who actually contributed to vesktop or vencord. I got made fun of in seige for my username being hollowscope and told I should change it to eroticscope but im not over here calling that harrasment.
TheBrokenRail-Dev@reddit
It sounds like you're experiencing the consequences of your actions. Next time, don't harass people

dgm9704@reddit
Did they have a rule about not having a blank pfp to weed out bots and trolls etc?
Fit-Abrocoma7768@reddit (OP)
Yeah but at the time I thought it was just super dumb so I defaulted to "bro you have an mlp pfp" and from there that led to a ban.
TheBrokenRail-Dev@reddit
Yes, it's their Discord server and GitHub. They can do whatever you want.
Also, you have some nerve complaining about professionalism while throwing a multi-subreddit tantrum.
Fit-Abrocoma7768@reddit (OP)
Also making fun of is a long stretch from harassment. If you've ever been to swamp cinema on gmod you'd know why im not exactly crazy about bronies.
FryBoyter@reddit
What's funny for one person doesn't necessarily have to be for another.
And so you think it's okay to make fun of other people on other platforms?
Fit-Abrocoma7768@reddit (OP)
Brother what next time? there is no next time im permanently barred from everything vencord there is no other way to report issues.
FryBoyter@reddit
In my opinion, /u/TheBrokenRail-Dev's statement was meant in general and not just related to this case.
sequential_doom@reddit
These are called consequences.
You do dumb stuff and get banned from somewhere. Then, down the line, you happen to need something from where you were banned. Guess what? That's the whole point.
Fit-Abrocoma7768@reddit (OP)
ok what's the point of them having a github seperate from the discord then? especially when they instantly respond on the github. Nobody in this sub would survive old cod lobbies if I can't make fun of a pfp without being permanently barred from being able to screenshare
sequential_doom@reddit
Should have probably thought about that before making fun of someone. Of all people you chose an admin of the support discord for the program you want to use. This one is on you, no matter how you see it.
Good day.
FryBoyter@reddit
That may be, but making fun of another user's profile picture is also pretty immature. Maybe you'll learn something from it for the future.
What would interest me, however, is whether you even tried to discuss the ban with a moderator of the Discord channel in question? This can often turn permanent bans into temporary bans.
Fit-Abrocoma7768@reddit (OP)
I have literally no way to, the github and the discord are the only ways to talk to them.
