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?

        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.

      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).
