well on its way to become the defacto centralized Git hoster.

If this isn’t Github already, what is?

It’s a bit weird to only be on discord don’t you think?

do they just post their code in a chat or something?

@melroy Dude, you need to reign in your street team. This post and all the others like it are harassment done on behalf of you and your project. And you are here posting in support, condoning it.

Tracking a person’s online activity is fucked up stalker behavior. It doesn’t matter what role they play in what project. It is harassment and obviously intended to menace. No matter what OP says, everyone can see this is the case. Look at the comments on the page. Do you see comments like this about any other open source project?

It’s really likely this will escalate. Nothing good is going to come of this. Kbin won’t be developed any faster. Mbin’s reputation will deteriorate, attract fewer users/contributors than it otherwise might have and specifically repel friendly helpful people who don’t appreciate this kind of thing. Your instances may be de-federated for failing to stop harassment. OP will sink further and further into whatever miserable spiral they are in. You personally will be associated with all of it because as a community leader you come here to encourage OP in this unhinged behavior. Find a way to redirect this energy into something that is useful for your project, or disassociate from it.

who is the judge of the server side code? what about the terrible green on white default lemmy color scheme? who is the judge of https? who is the judge of the physical infrastructure of the internet? who is the judge of wifi6?

omg it goes so deep judges everywhere judging me!!!

global blocklists

good thing nobody suggested that… And if they did it would be completely unenforceable.

Imagining for a second that I had the technical ability to do so. The thought of running a lemmy server and letting random people make accounts sounds scary to me. Especially a “general purpose” one. I would feel responsible for the crappy stuff posted by users. How do people cope with that.

Also would not be able to conduct the “investigations” required to determine if an instance was csam etc. Because that means you have to go and check it out! we can’t have a system where every admin is basically required to view CSAM. that’s crazy.

So far, not a problem that I have noticed or even seen discussed.

Moderation is very light compared to reddit. I hope it will become more mature as moderators can really make special contributions.

Quickly scanned your post history and it’s a bunch of nasty nonconstructive comments with a similar tone to the above. If you experience problems with mods everywhere you go, it’s probably due to your own behavior.

I believe they are moving. Paid for in some part by .tv

There are some tools that can help with this but I don’t think completely automatically. I don’t use any of them.

See: https://github.com/dbeley/awesome-lemmy#tools - scroll up and down the page too might be something that suits you

Well I’m not involved so don’t let me put you off it. :)

In broad principal I think a lively kbin fork is desirable.

It is very strange that the people associated with it spend their time doing posts like this one. No matter what you think of someone development style, tracking their behavior like this is fucking weird. Bordering on harassment. And in service of promoting their platform.

Why not announce features and bug fixes like a normal project?

But honestly I am hoping that if some more calm people get mixed up this will cool down.

@TheVillageGuy take a look at this post that showed up on my feed along with the present one: Why I started Sublinks: A timeline of events.

It seems like this person had a somewhat similar experience to yourselves in that they were frustrated with the development of lemmy. Some effort was made to contribute but it didn’t work out. The frustrations mounted and eventually a new project was the only way forward.

Same the mbin folks, a chat server was a useful off-threadiverse venue where ideas coalesced and relationships were built. As a participant in mbin do you catch my drift that they are roughly parallel trajectories? I’m not in either community don’t know the details.

But notice how the problems with other people or orgs is only mentioned in that they are relevant to this story. And while it does allude to some problems which were emotionally taxing, the focus on what was done to fix it and the outcomes.

So far the mbin project still exists and I do see people using it. If it’s going to be a long term thing youse should consider how you are representing yourselves. Being a weird Earnest accountability stalker is off putting. If you were doing it on your own behalf it would be a little disturbing. But you so clearly are doing it as some sort of ambassador in order to suggest people use mbin; and other mbin people have said similar things so I am not intending to single you out. This behaviour makes you and by extension mbin seem like a bunch of unhinged petty drama queens. It give a shine to the project as a whole. It is unnecessary. It will continue to have no helpful impact on the outcomes of kbin.

I think it is possible at this point to set a new tone if you want. Try the link, maybe even get to know these folks if you don’t already because I bet it would be productive. Youse are probably facing similar issues with federation. Just need to decide what chat software to use.

You should also include a link to sublinks or say what it is or something?

I think this is the most level headed pro-mbin comment I ever read.

If the project could attract and retain more of this energy it would only be a good thing.

a network between networks to make them more resilient i think you’ve just invented the arpanet?.

It seems that hourly rates of german lawyers are €100 to €500 which is about what I would expect. Even a few hours of time is a lot. To explain the case, have the lawyer or their designate review it, prepare for a case and show up to court is many hours at a minimum. Even if it is a simple matter.

it isn’t known which side is in the right

vs

If the defendent is obviously in the right

But the defendant still has to put the funds up in the first place? It’s a huge gamble and most people don’t even have the ante available.

Is there anywhere in the world that has a robust and comprehensive public funding for legal entanglements of all types?

According to https://fedidb.org/software/kbin there are a grand total of 29 active kbin servers. Of 61,489 users on all instances, 59,962 of these are on kbin.social. Monthly active users being 4,775/4,938

kbin.social, as you are aware, is owned and run by @earnest.

In other words I am not sure who you are addressing here. >99% of kbin users are on a single server which has little chance of switching to mbin.

Why don’t you just go and enjoy the platform of your choice? This performative misery is so strange.

tell me why i shouldn’t use plex as I’m always tempted by it whenever these threads come up and everyone who uses it is so happy.

But free/libre is so much more delicious.

But don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

a lot of pups

I found there was too much cat stuff on threadiverse at first. I enjoy a cat in a box or a cat on a keyboard or “this is my life now” or even wearing a kitten as a hat here or there but the whole things was cats cats cats with arch linux memes mixed in.

a pup fucking a pumpkin

oh pups. lol.
