And that’s the point, they came in shitting on the thing the group was there for
I’d still not ask that there, because people there are going to be more focused on the thing you don’t want to use. A more generalist group would be a better place to ask that, as even the second way asked in a Gimp group is going to mainly attract people who want to defend their favored project or help you fix the issue with it, when that’s not what you’re after.
Just as a reminder, the only thing the original comment that I replied to said was:
To be fair, you can’t exactly ask for a GIMP replacement on r/GIMP and not expect that reaction
There was no context in the original image or the original comment that the OP was being an ass about it. All I was arguing is that you shouldn’t immediately expect toxicity if you’re not being toxic yourself. I do agree it’s not the proper place to ask, and that your answers aren’t going to be super helpful.

Fair enough
