I keep hearing on Mastodon and elsewhere how the Lemmy devs like to close github issues prematurely, are condescending to people when responding to the issues, host CCP, North Korean, and Russian propaganda on their instances and delete any criticism of those regimes ETC. Even if you don’t care about the propaganda stuff, the rest does not bode well for accessibility fixes or continued cooperation and communication between RBlind mods and lemmy staff in the future. It’s concerning, to say the least.
Those are the main reason I’m currently replying to you from kbin
Ernest, the kbin developper is great, humble, reactive and I have big hope for him.
On the other hand kbin seems a little less mature at development level, but it has all the time to catch up
It has until July 1 to catch up. That’s when the apps get cut off. We had to have something running now, not whenever kbin catches up.
It runs just fine in browser and as a PWA, I’m literally replying to you from kbin
Yes, from kbin.social. Good luck running your own version of the kbin.social website on kbin though, the way that rblind.com is running Lemmy. Until the documentation for this process is free of sections that are just marked “todo”, and the entire thing has a replicable and well explained deploy script, it’s not even worth further discussion.
Because they got used to Reddit, where everyone who isn’t radcial center (Markets and Capitalism are the only way) gets banned.
I dont agree with his views either, but he does great work, doesnt own the protocol, but gifted it to the public and isn’t pushing his believes on others.
IMHO we should get used again to discussing with people who have have a diffrent opinion, instead of only talking to people who already have our opinion.
Yes and no. We do block Lemmygrad for hosting truly vile Russian propaganda.
If the fact we’re running Lemmy offends you, you’re more than welcome not to be here. I’m uninterested in further discussion on this matter.
Because the documentation on how to set up and run a kbin instance is incomplete. Entire sections just say todo. We need something we can run now, not something we might be able to run in October, if we are lucky.
I suppose that makes sense, given the deadlines. I just hope it works out and that the accusations about the arbitrary issue closing and dismissal of problems turns out to be false.
It’s never happened to any of the issues I opened. Keep in mind that a lot of issues people have when hosting Lemmy are going to be because they misconfigured the database, or the server OS, or the web server, or one of a thousand other parts that the Lemmy developers can’t fix. Our Stability issues were because nginx and docker had some misconfigurations for our traffic levels. Not a Lemmy problem, and the issue about the same problem someone else opened was closed, as it should have been. But at least the install and configuration process was well enough documented that the issue eventually got found and fixed (though not by me).
Kbin is way less mature at this point, no regrets about which way I went. The great thing about federation is you could switch if you wanted to and still interact with the same content.
What are you talking about, I am using Kbin
