PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL IF YOU ARE GONNA COMMENT ON THIS THREAD

I'm quite heartbroken that working on Wii stuff for over 10 year has equated to so much harassment, disrespect, and disdain in the community for me, regardless of the bad things I've done (those shall not be repeated on this thread). It's sad because I often think of how things ended up. While I'm not working on Wii stuff as much as I've left RiiConnect24, I've had to quit using Twitter and leave almost every Wii related Discord because people get away with shit talking about me. Half of the drama that was attached to me was either exaggerated or false entirely, yet in the Wii community you are hit hard with any infraction you make. If you are considering making a Wii related Discord server, do not, it will cause you pain. You will have to deal with stupid 13 year old teenagers and other people that cant behave well

Yet, part of me still wants to help people. It's hard when I get blocked from WiiLink's GitHub because part of their team holds grudges on me and I have to relay things to people to get them fixed and they barely respond. No Wii community is perfect, in fact Nintendo communities in general are gonna require you to work with eccentric people who will be hard to deal with myself included. But when I think of my time in the community, the drama overweighs any of the good things I did in the community, which has caused me to have low self esteem. I know I've not been the best person because of my impulses and other things, and I have done things that are very much bad, but people made mountains out of molehills. All I have to look back on is bad. Even when I'm barely doing anything, I feel like I'm still burning bridges

I've poured my soul into working on good things for the Wii, but people complain about anything. This drama is over, but I copy a response header to fix an error with the Nintendo Channel when WiiLink fixes the response, I got hit with the accusation I stole weeks of effort on their code causing much drama. I eventually use that code because they say it's OK to use, then they create drama saying I lied about receiving permission even though the code was licensed to be used. I try to work on a poorly made Wii Shop revival, and they have an accusation which is baseless that I doxxed people with it, causing many dumb teenagers to go wild because they pinged 20k people about the issue and the claim was so widespread that people didn't know what was the truth at all

While I've made some good friends in the Wii community, I've met some of the rudest and worst people I've met in my life through the Wii community. It's painful. If you want to create a community for Nintendo stuff, be prepared to deal with some of the weirdest and meanest people you will ever met. If you think I'm making this thread because I'm mad, well, I am, but I keep thinking about this and I have trouble letting go all of this

I'm sorry you had a rough go man, I still think you're something special. And you shouldn't have low self-esteem, even if you were the villain some make you out to be (which you aren't), a good villain is still no one to trifle with. You think Darth Vader had low self esteem? 😂

I admit I don't know all the accusations, but I feel like I don't need to because I don't believe u would do anything malicious intentionally, that's not the guy I got to know a few years ago.

The only thing I don't agree with you about is the wii community generally being toxic. Sure, with any community there are bad apples*, but overall I'd say it's overwhelmingly positive, at least for me (just google Get Well XFlak and tell me this community isn't incredibly supportive when it wants to be)

*my worst bad Apple story is this one XFlak fan-boy on the modmii discord that asked if I could be his daddy (or adopt him or something), and if he could take over modmii if I died, and where I lived, if he could live with me, etc. He was just trying to be funny but it came off as creepy. He was younger though and after some warnings it stopped and I didn't even have to ban him

Im not aware of the drama, the only homebrew-related Discord servers im a member of is GBATemp & ModMii..
With that said, just be yourself, man, no shame/guilt or low self esteem (even if you feel partially responsible), as haters gonna hate..
Peace!

Im not planning to leave the Wii community yet I think you should learn coding skill
I want to learn, but I have no idea where to start... I have devkitPro installed but I have no idea what environment I should code in (like CodeBlocks, a friend recommended to me, don't really like it tho), or even where to get docs or tutorials. What I am saying is that I am lost.

I dont know why it was implemented but my RiiTag account is banned now for some reason. This is petty. Im the reason why RiiTag even exists and they go and find way to add nail on the coffin

I'm not sure how your wiitag poses a threat, indeed it would be petty if they purposely singled you out for personal reasons. But maybe don't jump to conclusions, any number of reasons it could have been banned on error. I had a similar situation recently where my TeamViewer account was disabled because I was helping family and friends so much they thought I was a corporation 😂. After contacting them though it all got sorted out and my free account restored; I know it's not exactly the same situation but I hope you too can have a happy outcome.

You may be proven right in the end, but I think it's nicer living in a world where people are given the benefit of the doubt, at least until true colors show themselves, then move on recognizing that it's not your place in the world to fix everyone or everything, and try to let it roll off your back. I've been in a dark headspace before where maybe I wouldn't have had such a positive outlook, I know it's not easy to let go of past wrongs, but it burdens you more than those who've wronged you to hold onto that trauma, just let it go. But yeah, u didn't ask for advice, so feel free to ignore. Sometimes just venting is enough right?

WiiLink had done a q&a last night. They are gonna upload it to YouTube, yet Im more worried about if I was mentioned at all. I hope that I'm not, but I shouldnt need to be worrying about this. By the way its hard to get a response out of them

Sketch blocked me and all and he finds reasons to block me just because I raged at someone that caused drama under my name after I left RiiConnect24

It's tough for me to be empathetic. The best I can do is a recommendation.

My recommendation is that you go watch Futurama S02E01 I Second That Emotion.

a good villain is still no one to trifle with. You think Darth Vader had low self esteem?
In Episode 6 he sort of did.
