Good bye freedom welcome insomnia😭

Its called having opinions. is the images you distributed are clearly false the itch.oi community supports ganes based on their opinion if its good or bad.If its bad they wont bother commenting.

Iwent through your profile and you yourself send sarcastic comments on other people's game while i comment in good games and may comment if i discovered an Ai disclosure made up with lies. The community is like this.

we have a long thorough history with shovel-ware, censorship, and bad actors who pretended to be passionate developers when in reality they were just pushing an agenda. So some of the attitude you receive could just be fragments of that generational trauma surviving.

Write well thought out feedback and you'll receive some too.

So why don't you start by giving support to other devs?

following other devs.......ehm like me for instance, i'd be glad to follow you back afterwards. You could further maybe try to practice in an upcoming (featured) gamejam, which could potentially bring you win money, and/or you try to join an upcoming co-op bundles, which mostly will introduce a lot of new players to your game

Just do what you expect people to do to you. Since you're talking about game devs, you could support them by playing their games, giving feedbacks and supports.

As for who, just pick whoever you'd like to support.

I think Game Dev has always had some kind of gatekeeping going on. Even in the GameMaker forums we have particular people who are known for NOT pulling their punches when speaking to new devs, although it's usually always specifically regarding programming questions haha.

The reality is, that wherever you go, you're going to mingle with a variety of people and the ones that might appear hostile to you might be that way for a wide variety of reasons (and they might not even think they're being hostile sometimes).

Just ignore it if possible - there are plenty of new and old devs who are welcoming.
