Mbin instances
Mbin instances
Quick question, I’m looking to make an Mbin account and just wanted to ask if there is any lemmy.ml type of situation to be aware of.
You're viewing a single thread.
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 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...
but the mbin team isn’t great either.
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'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

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.
Not an mbin dev, but I do hang out in the matrix channel (because their app support is amazing).
I've brought up mbin a few times in various threads. I don't like to advertise as such, but if someone wants to know what my setup is, or is otherwise interested in self-hosting, I absolutely offer it as a suggestion.
After kbin.social died, and I didn't want to restart somewhere else just to have it die too, so I opted to self-host.
Why mbin rather than PieFed? For me, I started using it because it does threads and microbloging, and I didn't want to run two servers (and Mastodon install is a pain in the ass). I continue to endorse it because they keep fixing the problems I have with it, and they aren't jerks about bug reports. And they actually respond in chat (unlike the dead SearXNG chat).
I haven't seen any spamming (other than my own), so if you're gonna shit on them, maybe come up with some examples. As for their temperament, they've always been helpful, responsive, and pleasant to communicate with (as least with me).
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).
Piefed? It does, at least somewhat. IIRC the main thing is that you can't follow specific Mastodon users.

Nice instance name
Yeah I would definitely skip out on Mastodon and Lemmy directly. They're fine as a temporary visit but long term nah.
Dickhead meet Dickbutt, sounds like reddit poetry to me
