Not a fan of Melroy(mbin founder). They claim to have been a dev for Lemmy and kbin. Then when they didn't get the control they wanted, started their own instance. When that didn't take off, he ranted very publically once again about how the current team he was "working with" sucked and how he was the only true savior of the fediverse. Then he started mbin, which he named after himself(Melroy Bin).
His entire attitude has been "fuck you, I'm taking my ball and going home if you don't listen to me" from the start.
HARD PASS.
well I am an active mbin contributor and cannot confirm any of that. He never tried to contribute to lemmy as far as I know and trying to contribute to kbin is just a big disappointment (I've been there as well). As for the name, personally I don't care. It is just how it is and nowhere does it say "this is melroys bin" or something like that...
If you don't want to get involved that is fine, but the rumors around him are basically all false...
Because the maintainer "team" was one person who had health issues and did not commit or merge PRs for months??? What's your problem?
Also, mbin's governance is a constantly shifting group of ten people or so. Their announcement motto was "we'll merge every single PR". How does that align with your dictatorial expectations?
That's how we got xz backdoor. Don't go around exaggeratingly claiming everything you don't like is dictatorial
