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.
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.
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.
@BentiGorlich@gehirneimer.de 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?
I don’t have receipts handy for that right now, though the company you keep does say something about you.
I do have you on your weird transphobic conspiracy theory, though.
Big words from someone who posts anonymously, and who never contributed anything positive to the internet.
Ah yes, I sure am making any effort whatsoever to conceal my identity? Weird dodge there, guy.
At this point even someone as ideologically blinded as you should be able to see that the presence of you and your tankie friends is a liability to the project. Why do you think OP is looking to avoid a “lemmy.ml type of situation”?
Ah yes Im a liability to Lemmy which wouldnt even exist without my work. Troll harder kiddo.
I’m not saying that the work you’ve previously done should be undone. Ideally you would abandon your shitty politics instead of your development work, but I assume that’s out of the question.
From the perspective of those trying to advocate for people to actually use lemmy, the instances that you run, lemmy.ml and lemmygrad, are a serious problem. Together with hexbear, they’re the “missing stairs” of the threadiverse. We’re constantly having to tell people “Yeah, it’s understandable that you don’t want to associate with tankies, but it’s really not so bad if you just block those three instances, and don’t mind that two of them are run by the lead developers of lemmy”. You walking away would be a net benefit at this point.
No defense, then? Lemmy is just intended as a delivery vector for shitty politics, shackled to the rotting corpse of the USSR?
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).
Piefed? It does, at least somewhat. IIRC the main thing is that you can’t follow specific Mastodon users.
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

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
