From before Kbin shut down, I was hearing a lot of talk of the Mbin devs being dickheads and spamming around the site.
I don’t think they’re genocide denying authies like the Lemmy devs, but the mbin team isn’t great either.
Why not look into something like PieFed?
i keep seeing this without anything to back it up.
do you have anything to back it up?
Yes, thank you.. Can somebody back it up? And thank you of being part of our community originalucifer.
I am part of the mbin team and I am really tired of hearing shittalking about us without any reason. Nobody has any reason to call us anything but passionate.
When melroy started the fork, really weird accusations were thrown around without being based on anything...
I'm part of the Mbin team (and created the fork), why are you calling us dickheads? You don't even know the dev team. You don't even know me.
If you want to join Mbin you can just join a Mbin server. If you want to join the community and help out, join the Matrix chat. I don't understand where all the fuzz is about.
@[email protected] is also part of the Mbin team (thank you!), and he is also tired about all the negative talking about us, without any foundation of truth.
I’ve had quite a lot of experience in interacting with the mbin team and I can definitely say they are kind and compassionate people who have a passion for this project and have shown nothing but helpfulness and grace to me and many other people.
Wait, when have I ever denied any genocide?
It's more targeted towards Dessalines: https://sh.itjust.works/post/8419342
Don't shoot the messenger, just remembered seeing this post a while back
I haven't seen that community before. Some people have way too much time on their hands to keep posting about things they dislike. But at least it proves that censorship on Lemmy is impossible, when not even us developers can do it.
At least there is that, indeed...
On a completely unrelated topic, I see that lemmy.ml is now running 0.19.6-beta, do you have any estimation for the release of 0.19.6?
Not sure, I just got back to work this week and need to catch up with everything.
Thank you, good luck !
I think probably the biggest holdup for 0.19.6 right now looks like https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4983
I subscribed to the issue so I can see its progress
Big words from someone who posts anonymously, and who never contributed anything positive to the internet.
Ah yes Im a liability to Lemmy which wouldnt even exist without my work. Troll harder kiddo.
It's not that obvious.
Who would take over Lemmy development? Mbin and Piefed are getting there, but still far from catching up (Piefed has no API so no apps, Mbin only has one app)
Lemmy is still missing some impactful features which might really make it a 1:1 Reddit alternative
In a scenario where we are only left with Mbin and Piefed, we would probably have to wait another year to get to where we are now with Lemmy.
Interesting, because that's what I could see happening once they catch up. Unfortunately that's not for now.
Sublinks was announced in January 2024. We're in September, and the 0.1 version still isn't going to be released any time soon: https://github.com/orgs/sublinks/projects/1/views/6
I was hopeful for Sublinks as well at the beginning, but it seems like it's not going to be the one replacement a lot of people were waiting for.
At this point in time, I think Piefed has the highest chances at becoming a 1:1 Lemmy alternative. Development has been fast. Maybe in 6 months or a year it can really reach feature parity.
Yes, that's also the big issue: migration.
While, to be fair, if LW moves to lemmy.world to piefed.world as the main site and keeps LW alive for archiving purposes, it should be okay. Discussions don't go over for that long anyway.
I'm sorry, that's hilarious. It's so odd, so absurd I can't help but laugh.
I've disagreements of my own, but all I want is to put them aside for a bit because this sentence deserves appreciation.
One of main reasons I want to try Mbin is having lemmy style and mastodon style content in one place and afaik piefed doesn’t offer that
Counter opinion: mbin and the devs are fine.
There's a couple of people here who won't stop hopping into every thread about anything to talk about the things they make/businesses they run/etc.
Feels more like they're just a little too enthusiastic over their shit than actual shitheads, but that's just me.
Agreed. It's quite telling that despite all the asking, no one has been yet able to pinpoint a single issue on the mbin devs.
The most generous interpretation is that it's just a half-remembered thing of discontent from folks who didn't want kbin to get replaced (before it was known that kbin was dead).
Yeah I would definitely skip out on Mastodon and Lemmy directly. They're fine as a temporary visit but long term nah.
Piefed? It does, at least somewhat. IIRC the main thing is that you can't follow specific Mastodon users.
Nice instance name
Dickhead meet Dickbutt, sounds like reddit poetry to me
https://github.com/dessalines/essays/blob/main/socialism_faq.md#whats-going-on-with-the-uyghurs
Here is one of the devs with an entire FAQ showing their denial of the Uyghur genocide.
That's only one developer, but you were talking in plural. What other Lemmy dev are you referring to?
Thank you, I deleted the comment because I searched and found out
