This is the only valid response. xD

They are indeed.

too soon.

ow never mind haha. I thought you lived there in the past. lol

No Washington, D.C. anymore?

uh… it seems like it… if that is the case, the whole article is misleading at best.

Today I would say we have mbin now which is a fork. So maybe this guide can show both versions.

I was trying to setup multiple mirrors for myself as well, but both Codeberg and even sr.ht (sourcehut) makes it hard to just setup a simple mirror… Why do they make it so hard? I now just went for GitLab instead (https://gitlab.melroy.org/melroy/mbin which is now a mirror at least). But even then, it required GitLab Premium to have a repo pull mirror, luckily I have my solution for that: https://blog.melroy.org/2021/gitlab-pull-from-remote-repo/

Personally I like to have “video” support in Mbin as well, just like we have photo/image support. We already discovered that PeerTube is using “groups” as channels, which are called “magazines” in Mbin. We might want to create a clear distinguish between “normal communities/magazines” and “peertube channels”. Anyhow, feel free to help us.

We’re busy fixing the cascading problems in PostgreSQL design, allowing the removal of magazines, something that is still not available for some reason. After that, the mbin community will most likely further improve the moderation system. Regarding federating, we do already support all ActivityPub types (incl Services, which are bot accounts).

I agree but the reason was simple. Codeberg.org had too many down time issues. I and the community was impacted by the codeberg issues on almost a weekly basis. Hence the reason to move. I could also go to gitlab, but to keep reusing the Forgejo runners, github has the same workflow syntax. Anyhow, it’s also not up to me anymore. If the community decides to move to another git server I’m also fine with that. But I doubt the community wants to move back to codeberg.

Yea this is the power of open-source indeed. See also my response to “stu” a little down below in this same thread.

Despite being maintainer of Kbin (incl. several others), we wasn’t allowed to merge other PR changes except my own or changes that Ernest didn’t like (eg. GUI pull requests were reverted again). Then when development slowly became to a halt, I didn’t want the project to die. I didn’t saw any other solution than to fork the project. Not only that, we also didn’t like some changes from the past, which Mbin also rolled-back (like only show local magazines in the random sectors in the sidebar).

The fork by the community for the community also allows us to do multiple things from the start: 1. No single maintainer anymore. 2. Introducing a C4 contract: https://rfc.zeromq.org/spec/44/ 3. More transparency and giving all contributors owner rights on all platforms incl but not limited by GitHub, Weblate and Matrix. Allowing multiple people to become fully responsible for the project. Having discussions about contents, when we as a community agree on changes PRs can be merged after 1 owner approval. Various instances now moved to Mbin (like https://fedia.io/ ), because they saw hope again. As stated earlier, we also moved to GitHub now and to the hosted weblate.org instance. Currently the development is booming, because it’s not getting reversed and slowed down.

We had ~150 PRs in a only 2 weeks time (Kbin has this number over a year not a week or two). The amount of improvements in the code, bug fixes, GUI, docker setup, documentation and security fixes as well as various features are impressive. Mbin is not about me, it’s about the community now.

Me neither haha

That might be true, but then again at this moment in time the skilled experts have no answers for me… That is the point. Maybe over 10 years. Maybe 30 years… ? who knows.

haha no I’m not. Maybe also read this reply: https://kbin.melroy.org/m/coronavirus@lemmy.ml/t/42284/-/comment/323346

“regular” healthcare is the only legitimate healthcare

Sure, but the current healthcare doesn’t has all the answers… That was my point. In some cases or illnesses the legitimate healthcare can only say “you need to deal with it”. Literally.

I can confirm all this, because: 1) I have Tinnitus which they can’t thread. 2) I have a congenital heart defect, for which I had surgery as a baby. Without regular healthcare I was not here on earth…

Meaning I personally can say that the legitimate healthcare isn’t bad (without it, I was dead), but at the same time it can have it’s limitations. So I need to search also outside of the regular healthcare to help with my health issues.

Therefore, I can’t trust WHO only or “skilled experts”, because those experts sometimes also don’t know it. Which is not a bad thing, I don’t blame the experts. We are all human after all. But just understand that the current healthcare might not have all the answers that people need. I hope that is also a reasonable request from me.

yea well ideally… Good luck with that. You think that YouTube is able to cope with that many different entities and LHA’s about whatever the ‘truth’ might be? Which depends on the original of the video and the author location.

sorry… It was just an example.
