The game says this is stalemate but I'm pretty sure I've gotten a checkmate a long time ago. Am I wrong?
Bug or am I just dumb

it is correct, because the Black Pawn cannot move and the White Queen and Rook (Knight kinda helps too) trap the Black King.

It cannot be checkmate if there is no check.
It would be interesting to know what the OP means by "checkmate".
"I'm pretty sure I've gotten a checkmate a long time ago" is just utterly bizarre.
I can't even make a guess.

Perhaps he means "check"?
There was one about eight moves ago.
You just missed mate in one move thirteen times at this game- not such a big deal.

If someone doesn't know what "mate" is (or what it's good for), then it's easy to miss it.
You are not dumb, but you are obviously pretty new to chess. Review the definitions of "Checkmate" and "Stalemate." one important hint: It's never checkmate if the king isn't in check

That reply says far more about you than it does about him, sorry to break it to you.
